Norman and Peggy Llewellyn
They married thirty years ago
This bouncer and her beau
Their California love would bloom
For both did truly know
That life had joined their energy
Their wisdom and their dreams
She an engineer who knew
Life’s demolition schemes
And Norman was a man of heart
Who cared for those in need
An airport and a seaside town
Would plant a different seed
So to the Texas coast they moved
To find a better way
In “H” town they would first reside
But not there too long stay
For just a little south and west
They found a treasured isle
It was this “Village” by the Gulf
That did their hearts beguile
With airports close sweet Peggy flew
To bases far and near
To certify all bombs were gone
And none could reappear
And Norman he did hang his boards
His “Cat” berthed in the yard
The “Golf Carts” were made ready
No parts would he discard
And both became a better part
Of Surfside on the shore
Giving help to every cause
With strength that does endure
They beautified the village
Extinguished every fire
Designed a bike path for the town
Did dreams and hopes inspire
So now as thirty years do pass
With them we celebrate
Renewing life and love and hope
While they “New” dreams create
