A Wedding Anniversary Alone

It takes two to get along
One remains,still strong
Till death do us part they swore
Fifty five years after, together no more

Sixty-three years later, it’s not the same
Today, only one player in a doubles game
Three linesmen to watch the match
To help the referee, missteps catch

We love the lonesome player so much
His feelings we hope, we can touch
Not for the public gallery, so trite
Only filial loyalty and love very bright

Happy Anniversary,Father dear
From us you have nothing to fear
We have been here, done this and that
It matters now only, where you're at.
