FOR MY HUSBAND ON HIS 91st BIRTHDAY
For Robert Pych—November 3, 2020
Happy birthday, my darling—
Ninety-one is definitely worth celebrating!
because there’s so much to celebrate—
reasonably good health
great family, close friends
a comfortable life
but most of all
truly, truly, most of all
this is the perfect time to toast
enduring love, in these, our golden years
for we live a gentle life
with lots of I love
yous
and spontaneous embraces
that generate smiles throughout the day
We take care of one another
and consider each other
in our own unique ways—
You’ve endured plenty of poetry readings
I’ve been known to flip
through magazines at the racetrack
We frequently gather at the Scrabble board
and squabble about those two-letter words
that you find so irksome
or by the TV, where we really, really try
to find something mutually agreeable to watch
Every evening we join hands in prayer to God
for all the people we love
and some we’ve never met
whose names are given to us by others
Who would ever have thought
love would keep on growing
and be so tender and sweet
as hair gets greyer
wrinkles get deeper
memories get muddier
and backs get achier
but the truth is
at least in our case, it does
May you live to be 100+, hubby!
Sto lat! Sto lat, my dear!!!
Maude Carolan Pych
