Companionship@35

35 years ago when we met

On 28th January tied the knot

Professional career took the start

Geologist and Meteorologist

Got paired as a  GeoMet.

One  looked deep into earth

Other gazed at up above the sky

Albeit occupations distant apart

And Professional  focus  had a  contrast

Ensured harmony in family life ever intact

 

Frequent relocations pushed us apart

           Disruption  was  often a recurrent                                    

Children at the mercy of baby sitters

Employed spouses had a set of jitters

Till the kids turned as adults.

 

When contentment creeped in

Said no to desire for more penny.

 Aspired a relaxed life after

                         three decades

Employment voluntarily ended.

And a  new innings commenced

Concern for health took a new lead

relegating other matters to backyard
