Blimey! Have we been married that long ?
I didn't realise,
you just get on with living
and never mind the size.
The years just fly and dissapear
in the dust as you race by,
you raise your kids and love your man
control him by his flies.
Remember when we both first met
how urgent life did seem,
and how, in just half a decade
we'd used up half the cream.
Since then we've all relied on milk
to sweeten sour times,
when first thing in the morning
you hear the waking chimes.
The early years evoke the tears
the kids kept us alert,
when, he came down for breakfast
all he wanted was a shirt !
The appearance of his firstborn
brought about his need to weep,
had it been up to him I'm sure
he'd have had a flock of sheep !
But now came dissapointment
to love it put a stop,
untill we both agreed it time
for him to have the chop.
Then life began again
and with freedom and finesse,
between us more equality
with a second chance we're blessed.
We wept some tears in middle years
the rigours of life we suffered,
and though engaged as ball and chain
never were we fettered.
The children grew as oft they do
though never caused concern,
and all too soon in parenthood
thier lessons they did learn.
Now is the time for gentle things
life's long desert we share,
and whilst wallowing in pink Champagne
thank God we're still a pair.
And though at night we're likely not
to do the things we did,
we'll cuddle up close, recall the times,
we fed the national grid.............2pp
