Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is wedding anniversaries.
Today’s poem is an 8th anniversary poem about
giving and happiness in love.
I welcome comments on my poems at
https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Here’s a toast to caring
and compassion,
And love,
which is the music of that song.
Praised
be those whose love of life is strong,
Pleased
to give with neither writ nor ration.
Years are
rarely merciful to passion,
Even as
love would that joy prolong,
Innocent
of all that might be wrong,
Giving
generously, as is its fashion.
Happiness
remains an act of will,
The daily
choice to love with grace and skill,
Having found the
place where one belongs.
