An Ode to Carol on our Anniversary

   

our first "together" home

The years have flown by, so how did we fare? 

forty-two years, and still quite the pair. 

Loving and laughing, and laughing some more, 

with faithful reminders of how much I snore.

Forty-two years, the questions ran deep,

like “what is that smell?” and... “is it your feet?”

We laughed at each other’s most obvious quirks,

but never forgot to cherish the perks.

I promised adventures from here to afar, 

that mostly just meant long rides in the car. 

We knew from the start where this thing was headed,

together for life with nothing regretted.


"I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
 I've been waiting for a girl like you, a love that will survive
 I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
 Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life"

1981 Lou Gramm and Mick Jones- Songwriters
1982 Mike Toomey- falling in love with Carol Williams
