Some Fifty One Years Ago
Two Loving Parents Decided
They would keep trying
Even though the doctor said it was very unluckly
That they would have children of their own
He gave them a special medicine to help
Now it was out of medical sciences hands
A gift from God if it was to be
Already one miscarriage
So these two people would try
To create their own family like so many other young couples in love
Little did they know
What they accomplished would change the life of one person many years in the future
When they heard the news
I am sure they were elated
This also meant big changes for them
The husband a good base fiddle player in a local band
Dreaming of success
Would decide to give up his career
On the road and traveling
Working at night clubs and other gigs
To pursuit a more stable career
Working for G.E. (General Electric)
Later working as a cab driver for a second job to help make ends meet
They ended up raising their only daughter
Never well off and many times struggling
Doing the best they could
Learning from their mistakes and trying to do better
Teaching right from wrong
Love is more important than money
Working things out when you have a problem
So the years moved along
This young girl would grow up to be my beautiful wife
Who had struggled with a broken marriage
That know matter what she tried
Could not be fixed
It was not meant to be
Her husband wasn't the man she thought he was
Then one day
A new man would catch her eye
He encouraged her to leave the past behind
Stay positive and dream the impossible
Work on being the best you can be
Follow your heart and make every day special
So these two people would also try starting their own family
Unfortunately they couldn't have children either
Once again another loving couple
Would begin a new life
Her husband would put his dream as an entrepreneur on hold
Working for a local seafood establishment
Leaving the three jobs behind
Spending more of his time with his lovely bride
Both had gone to the same college
His bride a business major
Had changed her careers a few times
Would leave working for a law firm and find a job with the local cable company
Working also to make ends meet
So these two people
Would take on a pet
One cat would be their extended family
They were able to move to another state
Build their own home not a house
Where they would share their same values
Respect each other above all else
Spend thirteen loving years together so far
Working on many more with the same lessons and rules they were taught
Keep family close
Help those who you are able to
Love each other often and grow together as one
Work out your differences
Show support and respect for each other every day
Make the boring days exciting
All things have a way of working out
Now in their sweet comforting home
My wife celebrates her grand opening to the world
Age is only a number
Staying healthy
With a thyroid issue she struggles
A weight issue has been her biggest battle
Now I am sure her mom and dad both look down at her from the heavens
Smiling at their daughter
They did all the could to raise
With an abundance of love and praise
Couldn't be happier to see
Their daughter Carmela having a birthday
Named after her grandmother
Grow up to be so beautiful and loving
Working on fulfilling her dreams
Above all
Making sure happiness
Is not just a word but the only way to live life
Sleeping soundly in our bed
Where I go to join her
For a few more hours of needed rest
Then we will start this day
With sweet passion and all the love two people can share
Enjoying fall
My wife's favorite time of the year
