since forty-six years
Saint Valentine lent
his best Polish church
to my wedding
since forty-six years
have my bride and I
lent our best selves
to each other
since forty-six years
our marriage lent all
our best life and love
to our children
since forty-six years
our children have lent
us the best of rewards
our grandchildren
since forty-six years
have I lent my best
gratitude honor and faith
to my family
Ellen & I share your 46 years . . . 1969 must have been a grand vintage . . .
