an odd pairing can age well
with the right conditions
Challah and Feta
Roti and Mozzarella
every dry bread has its own sour cheese
compliments to the flour
that rose to the occasion
to the curd
that ripened into a match
the loving all started with respect
respect
because pallets don’t have to be the same
to be appreciated
sometimes opposites attract
and it’s the perfect blend
of talker and listener
of traveler and homebody
of brain and heart
sweet and savory
is a combo for the ages
so why not Sourdough and Swiss
or a NYC Bagel and Gouda
when there are equal parts trust
there is no limit to the love
says 2 successful careers
says 3 grown kids
says 50 years of marriage
the secret
is never going to bed angry
with each other
is knowing when you’re wrong
and admitting it (just a lil my bad)
is keeping god in the family
and the family in god
so even when life curdles
it is just a reshaping
and not a crumbling
an odd pairing can age well
with the right conditions
50 years later
and here we are toasting
to an endless love
to the perfect bun and cheese
Happy Anniversary!!
Celebrating Auntie Palma & Uncle Reggie’s 50th wedding anniversary. This marks my 2nd commissioned piece of the year. Ironically, both have been about love 🤪
