A Journey from
1944 to … Now
1999–2000 School Year
Retired!
Oh, yes, this is the year
that our family grew—
For our son found Melissa—and knew what to do!
So they married in August—a wonderful day
And flew off then to Paris—a honeymoon stay.
So the next step, we knew, would be grandchildren—wow!
Oh, I never had thought I’d arrive there somehow.
But both Steve and Melissa—in graduate school.
Yes, in nursing and law—oh, their plates were so full.
And dear Mary and I (yes, that’s Shelley, recall?)—
We remained intertwined for the thrill of it all.
And dear Joyce was still teaching—the height of her art.
And I dreaded each second that we were apart.
