A Poem to Derek from Anniversary #31 (a while back)

         

My Former Garden That Is Mentioned in the Poem

31 Years
For 31 years you’ve put up with me now
I mean, I am super great so I understand how
Still it is quite a feat to endure all those tears
That have fallen down my face for those 31 years

And I walk kind of slow which is not very taxing

And might be kind of boring, and way too relaxing

But I keep plodding on for as long as I can

And enjoy my time walking by my handsome man!


The cooking is tolerable, but not very fine

And I really don’t cook for you all of the time

But there’s food in the house that is decent to eat

And I occasionally make a crock pot full of meat!


You’ve done lots of writing for grand puppet shows

And the Princess is a beauty as everyone knows

And her voice, while quite squeaky can be kind of fun

At least if her part is not a singing one!


Our family has grown both in numbers and size

And often I find that you are very wise.

Our patience has grown from the practice we got

And we’ve had good adventures.  We have fun a lot.


Our yard is quite pretty from the work we have done

And sometimes our house projects are kind of fun

At least the result is good most of the time

And we have a garden that I sometimes call mine!


We’ve had hills and valleys in this life that we live

And I’m always impressed with all that you give

In blessings and prayers, in money and fun

In time and attention in the rain or the sun.


I love you so much, and I know you love me

And that is the way that it really should be.

So on this anniversary number thirty one

I am very grateful for all that you’ve done.


I’m thankful that I get a life by your side.

And you must admit that it is quite a ride!

We are very blessed and without further ado

I wish a very happy anniversary to you!

Love from, Sherie
