Four O

June 14, 1969

It snowed in Rapid City the day before...
Nothing unusual.

They were on the way to the church.
A little late, speeding a little.

The policeman pulled them over.
"We are heading for our wedding."

"I'm going to have to write you a ticket anyway Sir."
They got there even later.

It was a sign for them,
That life would never be boring.

That afternoon in a church,
The biggest Policeman of all found them worthy.

He gave them a long life together.
Two beautiful children,
And Friends then who are still with them today.
New friends along the way.
A treasure chest full of life experiences.
Good health and good  luck.

They hit the Big Four O.
Thank you Julieann... for life.
Thank you God, for setting the stage.
