After
50 years we've grown
accustomed to each other
our foibles and peculiarities
recognized and allowed
it is too late to change our ways
and we would not want to
the nuances of our personalities
have fused and we have become
stronger by the weld
we still argue
we still fight
but there is no animosity
only the cordiality of discussion and debate
for all our thoughts are shared
and talked through with mutual respect
we get along because
we know each other so well
we allow for differences
out of our abiding love
it's only an opinion
but my opinion is
that marriage has allowed us
to live this long
the two of us together
much stronger than each alone
we celebrate our sameness
we tolerate our differences
for all the other stuff
we make allowances.
