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 25th anniversary poem about a love that through
difficulties endured:
We've traveled several rocky roads
together.
Sometimes I didn't
think we'd get this far.
Three children and
twenty-five years later
We're more a couple
than we ever were.
Years of trying
polished off the edges
Because we both
possessed the will to try.
What we got is one
of life's great treasures:
A garden on the
shifting sands of time.
Love demands a kind
of self-surrender
That sometimes is
with difficulty won.
All who join in
marriage must endeavor
To make another's
happiness their own.
This sacrifice quite
often seems so easy,
But day by day and
year by year it's not.
Trust enables one to
love completely,
Living with one's
charity unlocked.
Our love is like a
deep and verdant valley
Nestled in the
mountains of desire.
Though all of life's
a dream that passes quickly,
We've made a place
among the circling stars.
