Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

43 years

and what do you have to show for it?

43 years and so much to show
Lots of good food and love with which to grow
9 amazing children, 7 amazing spouses add to that
2 more to come in the future
Little bros. you’re up to bat
Then to this Cook Clan comes the very best part
14 little joys that have melted our hearts
Oh yes, 43 short years and you continue to grow
43 years and so much to show

43 years each one of us has learned from our dad
Comfort, security, and lots of love we have had
Countless family trips to Palmo, St. George and, of course, Disneyland
Tennis, swimming, eating at Garcia’s
Too much fun to count on both hands
Little wormies who knew just how to tickle dad’s tired feet
Running through sprinklers and getting sprayed with the hose
Drawing on dad’s beautiful bald head in Florida’s hot heat
Oh yes, 43 fun years we have had
Comfort, security and lots of love from our dad

43 years of the greatest mom known to man
Talent, beauty and great driving skills with a stretch van
When mom is at home there is always delicious food on the table
Sewing, painting, a love of America and so much more she had taught us
There is no one in the whole world that is more able
There is always time for each person in her life
Lots of time for fun and love and making each one feel so special
With each endeavor she pursues, for perfection she does strive
Oh yes, 43 wonderful years driving the van
Talent, skills, love and beauty; the greatest mom known to man

43 years and so much to show
43 years and the love continues to grow
More good times, good food and good laughs are on their way
More times to learn and love
The Cook Clan is here to stay
Oh yes, 43 years of love with which to grow
43 years and so much to show!

HAPPY 43rd ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD
