Ode to Shirley and Marion

 

She was the Bishop's pet

raised by nuns in Lafayette

Whose photo was their choice

on the cover of St. Mary's Voice

But to the Bishop and nun's dismay

we eloped and ran away

from orphanage to army post

and widow Woodard as our host

I twenty-one and she sixteen

could not have foreseen

us together much less alive

when she reached seventy-five

celebrating sixty years of matrimony

and a love that is not one bit phony

with our eight children and their four

hoping for at least twenty years more
