"Good Union"
A Poem about Being Together
by Jack A. Atkinson
Life is most enjoyed
with experiences shared:
goals;
dreams;
stories;
menus;
music;
home;
family.
Select your backdrop,
build your stage.
"Purr" your contentments,
"ROAR" for victories shared.
A Good Union makes for:
mutual respect;
mutual memories;
constant dialogue;
and great opportunity:
to create a unique life
Together!
