Love Poem: Happy Birthday Mom and Dad

Happy Birthday Mom and Dad

Oh countless oaths are given to true love

          Still few can so survive life's passing tests

               And rarer yet are souls bound from above

     The fires of heaven lasting in their breasts



A blessing to have witnessed such a bond

          The loving ones who gave to me my breath

               None others have I known that are as fond

     Of honoring commitment through to death



In seven decades now they have embraced

          Each other midst a weaving of their dreams

               United thru the bad and good they've faced

     Each challenge as the truest of such teams



Of all life's blessings I have known and had

          None other e'er will equal ... Mom and Dad.
