Thirty Years
Thirty years
Living entwined,
Cacophonous snores,
The smack smack smack
When he eats that
Causes a teeth grinding effect,
Prince Charming he wasn't,
But she had no claims of
Being a fairy princess.
Still, he was hers
Home precisely
Day after constant day,
Held her hand,
Rarely complained about her
Less than gourmet cooking,
Raised babies, paid mortgages,
On good days and bad, loved.
He was there,
Thirty years.
