A month after Neil Armstrong
took some pretty big steps
Days after Sharon Tate
took her very last breath
My parents walked down the aisle
and are still side by side
Technological leaps and milestones
Small steps for mankind broadcast
around the world as The Troubles began
Seamus Heaney wrote ¨Summer of 1969´
from his apartment in Lavapies in Madrid
Rockets reached the moon
Concordes came and went
Masks became the new norm
but our home is still a home
Four children were born
and Fiona had four more
Half a century celebrated
a year ago, a golden anniversary
marked the words “I do”
On a day in August 1969
51 years ago
August 14th 2020
