When I saw you for the first time from across the crowded bar
I knew
When you came back from your travels after 93 long days
I knew
When I see you in the morning sipping coffee from your mug
I know
Even when we argue and we both know that I’m wrong
I know
When I see you with the grandkids, giving them a hug
I know
Before we go to sleep each night and say those special words
I know
When we’re on vacation and we still have words to share
I know. I love you.
April 3, 1976. Happy 47th Anniversary Karla
At "Naked for Satan" rooftop bar in Melbourne a few days ago. Apparently the couple behind Karla knew our anniversary was coming up and were starting to celebrate for us.
Wow Rick! That poem is beautiful! I didn’t know you had it in you. Congratulations on your 47th anniversary!🍰 - a vegan cake. Irene and James
And while I was invited to the wedding I know where I was - in the wedding party of another couple half way across the country (no not the couple sitting behind you in this bar). Happy 47th (though in truth you still have a little more than 16 hours of April 2nd to get through in Calgary right now.
