I made this for Mike to give him his 3rd wedding ring. I wrote it in about an hour last night while watching American Idol, so no critiquing my writing skills :)
Here’s a scavenger hunt made for you
Your Valentine’s present is at the final clue
We’ll start where we met, at The Colony
The clue’s where you sat when you chatted with me
It’s not the same one, but our own will do
Just walk on over and find the next clue
Our meeting in March led to our first date
A volleyball game, and you were not late
I scrapbooked the picture that Doug Wyatt took
The clue’s inside that special book
Our wedding day was one of my best
Although we didn’t get time to rest
We rushed around from here to there
But the clue can be found on what I wore in my hair
Parkside Apartments was our newlywed pad
But we soon moved to Union Square, which we thought was quite rad
You’ll find the next clue by our little sweet pea
Who was born in Utah and made us oh so happy
California called us and away we went
But when the visa fell through, we didn’t have a cent
The next clue can be found in the thing that we got
From old Bishop Boyle, who liked us a lot
Kya was born in San Jose
We never thought we would move away
The next clue is where we now call home
Not too far away from the telephone
With our little boy came a challenge or two
But with that guy around, who could ever be blue?
Your Valentine’s present can be found in his box
I hope that IT will knock off your socks
We’ve had many ups and downs since our first Valentine’s Day
But I want you to know that come what may
I will love you forever and ever I swear
If this wedding ring you will always wear
(AND IF YOU LOSE IT AGAIN, YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANOTHER ONE)

I hope Mike doesn't read your blog!Very inventive Anita!
Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
Love Mom
Mom, I thought about calling him and telling him not to read it, but then I thought he'd read it for sure. He really doesn't read it unless I want to show him something--I hope!
Great poem, Granny! I love all the fun rhymes :) Thanks for posting it so we could read it, too!
