               How much I’ve come about
                  these last few years
               my love for Rose and Danny and Chris
                  is never at issue
               it overflows at the slightest thought
                  where before were only dreams

            So this Irish son of immigrants married
              the daughter of Norwegians
            and he from a line that ended faltering
              and she from the small Minnesota towns
                lost in dust.
            The years have passed, the wrinkles grown,
              the children strong.
            What are we…you, my love, and I
              but the fabric that has made my life a joy.
            I wish I could say my thoughts better
              my heart fills with so much
            and I turn to try to say
              how very much I care.
