I interviewed my grandparents, to write this poem for their 60th anniversary, which is today, April 16th, 2010. I will be reading this tomorrow at their celebration. 99% of this are true facts....Enjoy :-)
They first met at her house,
She didn't think much of him, but he
thought she was quiet as a mouse.
Their first date was to a house of a friend,
Never in their wildest dreams did they think
their love would NEVER end.
Three years of a courtship bliss,
They taught each other a lot of things
Even how to kiss.
When he asked for her hand in marriage,
Her father replied, "OK, but I don't have
anything to give, especially a horse & carriage."
Her grandma said, "If you're not going to
take care of her, leave her be."
He replied, "I'll give my all for this pretty girl,
I love her you see."
They were married on her front porch on
the 16th of April,
They were happy, blessed, and \
very grateful.
He wore a light plaid grey suit,
she, a white dress,
Relatives from all over
there were plenty of guests.
Lots of gifts, ice cream & cake
was the meal.
No honeymoon for them,
the next morning he had to be in the field.
With kids, he wanted as many
as he could take care,
She only wanted 2 so she wouldn't
have to pull out her hair.
So 60 years, 7 kids, 9 grandkids,
& 2 great grandkids later,
They're still in love &
have never thought about a divorce paper.
