Where Old Ways Stay The Same
Where old ways stay the same
There’s usually a good reason
Ways don’t tend to disappear
When shown appreciation
Love, good manners, and kind regard
Tend to wither with neglect
Seasons change and pass with time
Transitioning unchecked
Until no longer remembered
Until unneeded anymore
Until with unfamiliar face
Love slowly closes the door

♥ HAPPY 15TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! ♥
♥ 29 July, 2014 ♥
Fifteen years is not a really long time,
Though sometimes it feels like forever –
Sometimes it feels like we have lived
Three lifetimes together
But I’ll gladly take 15 more –
I’m not ready to retire
Just because I’m breathing heavy
Doesn’t mean I’m tired!

Subtitled: Beachglass Jewelry Set with Matching Poem
Bits of colored glass

Lay scattered on the sand
Softly glistening in the sun 
Oh, catch them, catch them fast
These bits of colored glass
Like fragments of our past
And gather them one by one
String them like so many memories
With edges smoothed by time
Yet retaining the soft translucency
Of colorful days gone by
Don’t lose the wonders and mysteries
But string them like so many memories
With edges smoothed by time
Faded like a winter sky
The greens and yellows and blues
Are the gardens I grew with you
While our love was growing
While our flowers were blooming

I wrote this poem for my incredibly loving and wonderful husband on our 5th wedding anniversary, July 29, 2004:
SPEAK TO ME IN KISSES
Speak to me in kisses
I love every word that you say
Our lips press softly together
Our tongues caress each other
You say by this tender example
How sweet is your love for me
