H appy thirty-first anniversary!
A moment's pause to celebrate our love:
P leased in ways no wedding could foresee;
P leased in ways we had no inkling of.
Y ears of love create an ecosphere
T hat nurtures and sustains the lives within.
H aving each evolved to flourish here,
I t seems each year we're more and more akin.
R evision is quite different from re-vision:
T he one amends; the other recreates.
Y et love is a perpetual decision,
F reshly cut from new-found fields of grace.
I f love is a perennial, old and new,
R e-blossoming as each rebirth comes due,
S o differently, yet beautifully, the same,
T hen what time erodes, love will sustain.
