Hard to believe you've been married so long already! A moment is a box of supple size. Praise be the years-peaceful, rich, and steady- Passing motionless before our eyes. Yet time is the eternal in disguise. For you now time is like a restless sea: In wind-blown haste above, below serene. Feelings flow in tidal ecstasy That climaxes in currents deep as dream. Hours, days, months, years one moment seem.
