JanBeek

For fifty-six years we have been

Partners in this world

Jointly taking all the crap

And all the love unfurled.

Never when first we met

Would I have ever guessed

Our union would result in this

A true unbridled test

Do you love me – really love

Enough to join the crew

Of volunteers at the Sr. Center

If so, show me – show me true

Don the apron, do your part

Wash the dishes – scrub

I’ll be here soups-cheffing

Preparing all the grub

Did I hear you acquiesce

Did you really say you could

Oh, my dear, you passed the test

Of course, I knew you would!
