During the summer of 2001, my parents-in-law, Eleanor Slimp Rosenblum and Gershen Rosenblum, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The Years cycle is a tribute to their half century of loving devotion, and the last four poems of the cycle reflect on various aspects of marriage. The first song, Jewels, represents what might have been if my in-laws had followed convention instead of their hearts, as in 1951, interfaith marriages were far less common than the present day.
