For thirty-seven years, I've had a friend,
Who has given my happiness, no end.
She is the mother of my offspring,
Joy to both of us they do bring.

For thirty-seven years, She's been my lover,
For sure there's not much to discover.
And all this time she's been a fishing buddy,
Even though she calls all my fish "Stubby".

For thirty-seven years she's been my companion,
From the highest peak, to the deepest canyon.
She is my good reason to keep on living,
For all the love she keeps giving.

I looked long and hard for a woman for me,
Till she found me and decided a husband I should be.
For thirty seven years of joy and strife,
Thank God Almighty for giving me such a wife.

- Richard (Pard) Adsitt
