The dappled blotch of leaves on country roads,
And purple misty bands of blue ridge hills;
The mottled stretch of mingled marsh and sea
And ruddy roads of middle Georgia rills
These sights and more we've seen for thirty years
Our life together reads like a travel guide
With pleasant stops and conversation sweet
For thirty years as mates we've sojourned wide
We've shared the many duties of the home
I cook, you wash, you pay our monthly bills
We clean the house together when we must
Each moment with my wife brings constant thrills
This little sonnet will I hope express
My gratitude for endless happiness.
Love,
Dan
