Do You Remember

when I first saw you

working at the restaurant

and I had come in with

another and remember how

she was miffed

I was looking at you-

I remember

the look in your eye

the glint that called me

home;

both formed an

alliance to woo me

and we married

three months

later. After 45 years

I am sure

there is more to come.

(this poem celebrates my love

for my wife, Esther and her

birthday. yet to come Nov. 21).
