Mom and Dad
Young couple
just starting out
wide-eyed and innocent
still wet behind the ears
bursting with
dreams and hopes
Opening each day as if a gift
blessed with children
to call their own
Not yet overwhelmed
with burdens
brought on by the years
not yet disillusioned
by the obstacles of life
around the corner
Weathering the storms
they stayed strong through the years
faithfully lovingly devoted
renewing vows
with each anniversary
