Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
Today’s poem is a 50th anniversary poem in which
one must still make the daily choice to love.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Fifty years is a long time to be married,
Interweaving lives so thoroughly
Fortune seems like fate. Love seems to carry
The monumental weight of destiny,
Yet love is still a choice since one is free.
Years and generations notwithstanding,
Each day of marriage one must choose anew,
As love long lived in is no less demanding,
Requiring one to make one life of two,
Sharing one’s bright being through and through.
