To My Husband--By Suzanne Clement--United States

To My Husband

We first met in eighth grade,

as lab partners when we

had Science together.

Toward the end of the year,

there was to be a dance.

You asked me.  I said, “yes”

and wore a yellow dress.

You wore a navy suit.

We stayed together all

through high school and college

even though you went

to a college down in Boston

for journalism.

I now have a husband

who does news on TV.

We’ve been married ten years,

and it’s been wonderful.

Here’s hoping for many

more years of happiness

my dear husband, Michael!
