"Love Song to a Husband and a Marriage" by Margaret Harless Who knew, my darling, when we began, How long, how well, we'd last and love? My mother said a heart attack would take you, and leave me alone, (with lots of kids). But we raised them all, cared for orphaned siblings, my aged grandmother, our dear Susie: the transplant, cancer, death; so sick, so long. Your goodness, strength and wisdom brought us through. Who has not done a mean or an unkind thing? I think only you, straight as an arrow. Now, with white hair, bad knees, bad backs, our reward is peace, gardening together and Paris! Fifty four years, not just love, but friendship, and still the 'sweetness of familiar flesh'. About the Author I am a fifth generation Wyomingite, married to my husband for 52 1/2 years (and we dated before that for 1 1/2 years). We have four children, six grandchildren, love family get-togethers, books, petroglyphs, the outdoors and PHC. We used to go to a mountain location where we could pick it up, before we had Wyoming Public Radio. | | | |
