Anniversary

It wasn’t so long ago really

I mean, we were already 24

Quite old enough to think

We knew what we were doing.

46 years later life still

Surprises me at times.

I may have been wiser then

But it was mainly dumb luck

To find a life companion like you

We’ve done more than OK

Together

Work, kids, houses, politics and cats

Our priorities matched

While we argued with passion

About the little things that didn’t really matter

Keeping our wits sharp

So we could take on the world

There will no doubt

Be more trials and challenges to face together

But also trails to hike

Because beauty and love abound.
