Happy Anniversary, Dear Jane

Thirty Five winters and summers, 

and in between 

springs and falls, 

days of crisp sunny sky, 

and some stretches 

when mugginess stalled; 

then there were hails, 

tornadoes, couple of hurricanes 

but also, the blessings of 

uneventful days,


and through it all, 

we found strings to keep 

our souls together, 

and made some memories 

of finding white feathers,

of raising something small

to become a man,

standing proud and tall,


and so,


when you get up this morning

and are still half awake, 

the words

Happy Anniversary, Dear Jane

will sum the story 

that the years together

were not in vain.
