To Heather and Scott on the Occasion of Their 45th Wedding Anniversary
Margaret E. Holt


As you were together at Chateau Elan
I pondered of how time is gone.
How people come, and people go.
Nothing in our days is slow.

But I took some time to meditate
And wonder about your first date.
And all that’s filled your wedding cup-
What you achieved without prenup.

So many years-
Some with tears.
Your bond withholds this test of time
A union proof of life sublime.
