'ME TOO"

My Spouse

    of sixty years

reads in bed

    late at night

It's okay 

    with me, though

I don't myself

Somehow last night

    at 11:59 p.m.

I awoke

Her light was on

    still      and

I peeked 

    at the clock

It said 11:59

    (one minute 

to go to Feb 17)

Then it all at once

     it said 12:00

midnight

And I sleepily said:

    "We made it."

"We have been 

    married 60 years."

I said: "I have enjoyed

    knowing you...a lot."

"You have been....fun."

As I drifted 

    back off into

sleep 

    I thought I

heard her say:

"Me too."
