‘With all my worldly goods I thee endow’

These were the words you spoke.

It made me want to laugh out loud-

It had to be a joke.

But that was fifty years ago

And times were different then

Our currency was LSD

We’d hardly heard of yen.

But worldly goods came bit by bit

And so did children four

When two of them arrived at once

Well, who could ask for more?

Like every other married pair

We’ve had our joy and strife

But on the whole, I have to say

It’s been a lovely life.

We’ve travelled far across the globe

Yes, even to Siberia

Although at times that trip brought on

Some bouts of mild hysteria.

Now, as we drive along life’s road

Foot firmly on the pedal

For all that love and care bestowed

You do deserve this medal!
