Still the one- Orleans
May 22, 1982
The day, We two, Became one
There is an old saying
That if you put
A dollar in a jar
Every time you had sex
In the first year of marriage
Then took a dollar
Out of the jar
Every time you had sex
After year one.
Well, you would
Never, empty
The jar!
Because of you,
I keep trying,
A worthy goal,
because you’re the goal,
You’re still the one!
We naively thought
Sex, equaled Passion
Boy were we wrong!!!!
Don’t get me wrong ,
Sex has a role to play,
But it is more like,
an accessory
My Passion
for life
Magnified
When combined
with yours .
We have encountered
Many ups and downs.
We have laughed ,
We have cried.
Life is meant to be like that
We would never
Know how strong,
Our bond to each other is,
With out living through them.
The only person worthy
Of my effort?
Is you
You’re still the one!
My Passion
For living,
my zeal for life
Inspired by you
You’re still the one!
May 1982
To May 2012
Thirty years strong
What could go wrong
Well that’s when Parkinson’s
Came along.
The month of May
Had made you
Wear many hats,
Has given You
Many titles
Wife, mother and
Now Caregiver
You accepted each
Without question
Without doubt, and
Without any fear
Your strength
made me stronger.
The approach,
I’ve chosen for
My life with Parkinson’s,
Is one I made
because of my desire
To spend it with you.
You’re still the one!
We’ve travelled
A long road since
that May in 1982
When my life and your life became our lives.
May 2023
My Parkinson’s
No sorry
OUR PARKINSON’S
Takes us down
A road that is unmarked
A road that is unknown
There is one person
I know that will
Make that experience
Memorable.
You’re still the one!
We might want a drink for the road.
Better get some money.
It’s a long weekend
And the banks are closed.
Where to get some money?
Hmm
Where’s that jar?
I feel a transaction or two
Might have to occur.
I sure hope there isn’t a withdrawal service charge ?
Happy anniversary
Sue!
Parkinson’s or no Parkinson’s
You’re still the one!
And we’re having fun
Like Warriors!
