Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A twelfth anniversary poem poem about how married love can
make the sacrifices of a life pursuing social change easier to bear:
Here we have
a couple quite well suited
As they
travel on a single path,
Pleased to
share a passion deeply rooted,
Pursuing
change through complementary crafts.
Yet change
is never easy, and the toll
Taken over
years of sacrifice
Would
perhaps have far outstripped the goal,
Except that
love reduced the labor’s price.
Love makes
life a joy and eases toil,
Frees one to escape to happiness,
Tempers
tears with sweets that else would spoil,
Heals the anguished heart with tenderness.
