A 17th anniversary
poem:
Sing of marriage and of
loves that last,
Each year again a cause
for jubilation,
Voices and arms raised in
celebration,
Elevating either gloss or
glass!
Nor can one find one's way
across the vast
Time 'twixt birth and
death without relation,
Ever the locale of one's
location,
Ever the love that binds
one to life fast.
Nor ought one be a tree
without deep roots,
Yielding to the next
fierce hurricane,
Ever fearful of each
gathering storm.
A self and soul work best
when in cahoots,
Rationale and rational the
same,
Singing with full throat a
joyful song.
