Let me count the years...
45!
That's no jive
Where'd they go?
This we know:
One love ablazing
Beach walks and star-gazing
Two daughters growing
Balls and clay pots throwing
Three homes in So Cal
Four if you count Nor Cal
Five golden decades
Six brand new roofs
Never without goofs
Seven year old grandie
In our hearts she's handy
Eight small creatures
Most with furry features
Nine cats with nine lives
Boa who gave Mark hives
Ten + years of camping
Joyous wild foot stamping
Eleven some-odd cars
Some did not go far
Dozens of plane trips
Cousins and friendships
Oodles of weddings
Too many dead things
Wouldn't trade a minute
Nor all the love within it
For me there's no one dearer
I'd like to keep him near here
Alas his passion calls him
Summer camp enthralls him
As long as he comes home
He is my bon homme
Joyoux Aniversair to you
April 30, 1972
