Simple but profound depth. When your spouse can write this about you after 32 years of marriage its a gift beyond comparison:
Still
32 years
Laughter and love
Trouble and tears
Music and miles
Friendships and fears.
And still
There is Us
You-ness, Me-ness
Always and always
Merging toward Us-ness.
An eye’s blink
Our Three-ness
But now
We return
To Us
Changed
But still
Us.
And when my time
This side
Is done
And I approach
That great long division
Death as divisor
Still
You will be
The One
The One
Who won
My very heart
And won it
O’er and o’er
Center of my heart
Beacon on the shore
Hero in the hardest times
Comforter and more
Visionary, confidant
Guide to Heaven’s door
Still
And
Forever
