Partners
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!
