Sometimes a Sacrifice or Two Comes Easy

May 19, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since this is a week when many colleges and universities have their graduation ceremonies, the theme for this week is graduation.

Today’s poem is a graduation poem from someone who has sacrificed to enable his or her spouse to graduate.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Sometimes a sacrifice or two comes easy:

Love's a very generous reward.

Two people are in equal need quite rarely,

So one becomes the tune and one the chord.

Today I feel immeasurably lucky

To celebrate with you this milestone.

The music in my heart is very lovely.

I watch you from below, but not alone.

I'll always be exactly where you want me,

As I have faith that you will be for me.

No missing paradise will ever haunt me,

For you and I will share our melody.

I'm proud of what you've done and what you'll do.

No one could be more blessed than I with you.
