Two stubborn people made vows to be true
For sixty years marriage bliss did survive
With exceptional difficulty love is still alive.
Many problems occurred throughout the day
Had to be careful what to say.
If a phrase escaped such as the weather was fine
A retort came back, ”it’s a miserable time.”
According to him the food was cold never hot
Resulted in returning the entrée to the pot.
She enjoyed reading from A to Z.
His hobby the sports on daily TV
His role was the king of the household
She, the servant did all that was told
Her job, the dutiful wife with cheerful glee
Settled debates before the sun did flee
Six children appeared making hearts sing
Filling the house with excitement and things
Never a moment to worry or despair
Fun took over with laughter everywhere.
If there was struggle and problems
Children brought peace and happiness here.
Their blessing to the house, a miracle to behold
This cement kept the family in a firm hold.
