23 YEARS! ! How time does fly! ! <br /> <br />HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to our Dear Parents; <br />Bill and Vi. <br /> <br />Mom first met Dad when he was just 38; <br />And his only pleasure was drinking beer and <br />hopping a freight. <br /> <br />It all started one night when Mom, a mere 26; <br />Stopped at the Metro Club with her sister-in-law, <br />Barbara, for sodas and chips. <br /> <br />From across the bar their eyes met in the <br />smoke-filled haze; <br />Mom's full of stars-Dad's all beer-glazed. <br /> <br />Their love soon blossomed and Dad's heart <br />was aflame; <br />For he knew he'd found his true love at last, <br />His one and only 'SugarBabe.' <br /> <br />Dad true to his word, took Mom away from it all; <br />And with three kids and a falcon they headed <br />for Duval! <br /> <br />And all through the years their love has been <br />strong; <br />Even when Mom's right and Dad's always <br />wrong! <br /> <br />Who could ask for more loving parents who have <br />struggled and strived; <br />to raise five hooligans and still manage to survive! <br /> <br />We all love you Mom and Dad, each in our own <br />different way; <br />And the loving memories throughout the years <br />in our hearts will forever stay... <br /> <br />Always and Forever; <br />Debbie, Bonnie, Robin, Chris & Pat<br /><br />Debra Cathey (Thane)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-anniversary-poem-to-mom-dad/
