FELICITY
(36th Anniversary)
So many prices paid
each day, month, year
yet the course stayed
amid happiness's tear.
Able to raise children
finding ever new patience
new pathways to wend
strength and resilience.
Enduring and thus feeling
a oneness thus forming
discerning and sealing
emotions made warming.
36 years of love's trial
eternities in the future
creating time to wile*
felicity then to mature.
Joyce and Chuck united
extended families entwined
into love's circle invited
in fires of life refined.
