Sixty Winters Warm

We grew up watching you two Thinking that's just how love looks You married in a ration year With tea and one shared slice of cake Grandma, he still pulls your chair out Sixty years, he's never late You thought the grandkids never noticed We noticed everything Sixty winters, and you kept each other warm Hands still finding hands beneath the table Grandpa hums, you sway beside the stove You taught us love's a verb, not just a fable Sixty winters warm — and counting more The radio plays something old And his hand finds the small of your back You dance between the kettle and the door Like the kitchen is a ballroom We stand out in the hallway, quiet Learning how it's done Sixty winters, and you kept each other warm Hands still finding hands beneath the table Grandpa hums, you sway beside the stove You taught us love's a verb, not just a fable Sixty winters warm — and counting more Now we hold our own ones closer Pull the chair out, learn the dance Every wedding in this family Is just trying to be yours Sixty winters, and you kept each other warm Hands still finding hands beneath the table Grandpa hums, you sway beside the stove You taught us love's a verb, not just a fable Sixty winters warm — and counting more Keep dancing by the stove, you two The whole family's watching — thank you
