Fifty years a-growing with my pigtailed friend I was frogs and snails and she was sugar and spice Attraction of tortoise petting a perfect way to diet Red-faced, tongue-tied, secret Confirmation admirer Nucleus beauty besotted beard route to romance Coffee and gooseberries companionship cooking Chicken and almonds the way to this man's heart Townley Hall first loving to closeness ever after Tented separation in Mweenish was chilly silliness Yellow bikini starvation Brighton beach memories Sneaking bedroom cuddles in Westone wedding Graduated to Beaufield dinners and Blue Nun Parents fret about their two kids with two kids Life challenges met in the riches of poverty Grateful when God's surprising Gift was given Altogether life more balanced and beautiful Entrepreneurial pride of parents flying high The stars of sons the brightest in the sky The workaday challenges a learning lesson Lunch in Powerscourt the pleasure of poverty We fly and we fall but catch each other every day In heaven at last in the castle of our dreams "Ticks all the boxes" of my blonde beauty Perfect harmony a Gateway to perfect storm Togetherness triumphs over taxman trials Best times ever as we conquer the world Olympic pride and gradual OU degrees Make sunburst of pride as we grow Icarus-like flight forgiven not forgotten Revalue every "for granted" magic moment "I want to grow old with you" wish and fear Strength stronger than stupidity and stuff In fear and loneliness I see fire and I see rain I see sunny days now that we are one again.
