Another Reason To Celebrate
This is not an anniversary poem…no…for that would be much too soon…the anniversary of our wedding…we won’t celebrate til June.
But it does have wedding connotations…a kind of anniversary thread…because yesterday we took a walk in the park near the chapel where we were wed.
We stopped in front of the chapel…after our walk was through…to remember and relive that moment 33 1/2 years ago…when we said ‘I do’.
We stood on the doorstep remembering our first steps taken together as husband and wife…and thinking how every day…through all these years…we’ve been blessed with a wonderful life.
As we gazed upon our chapel…we noticed in these 33 1/2 years she’s a little more weathered than she use to be…and it brought a smile to our faces when we realized…so are we.
And those smiles were soon accompanied by a scattering of tears…when we realized how…just like this chapel…we’re still together…still standing after all these years.
So…perhaps this is an anniversary poem after all…
though not on our exact wedding date…
Perhaps every day we are alive…
every day we are together…
is another anniversary…
another reason to celebrate.
