Pete, My Pete

A few years back when me and the mister were newly hitched, we had a great Valentine's Day by throwing a Beatnik Poetry Night with all of our Bronx friends. In honor of Pete and our third Valentine's Day as husband and wife - here is one of the poems I wrote for him on that day of poetry so long ago:

I think that when I am old
I shall sit beside you and tell you things
you may have heard before
But you'll smile slyly and tell me an old joke
again too just to prove we're happy just being together.
I think that I shall like being old with you

Pete, for all the love you've given me, I thank you. Happy Valentine's Day this year and for always.
