The day fifty three years ago
Dan and Sharon were married
Times have been tough and good
Two children five Grand children
It has not been easy
Small apartment bed falling from wall
Elevator with doorbell that shocked
Jobs hard to find
The time I had three
Little sleep--next upgrade a 743 square foot rental
Our first home
Found time to get an Associates degree
Two eight hour jobs a babies cry another cry
Greyhound-Fisher flower and Adams news
in between unloading freight at Lasme Freight
Rush second shift to Container corporation


Today all the kids in college or college bound
A home overlooking Puget Sound
We came along way dear happy anniversary
