Pay the Piper


Pay the Piper, Let the Dance Go on.


I woke this morning and knew I would not die
a pauper, nor even rich.  Somewhere
in between, depending which day
my check gets deposited next month.

It’s January.  I still have time to read
about December/May romance.
An old story, if true, but not for me. 
I married an October bride I met

in March, speechless after two years
in Mexico.  Stars in my eyes no northern
lights could dim.  Bright at eighty as that
first day I knew this feeling would not end.
