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
