Happy Anniversary

I post this poem each year on our wedding anniversary. Happy 39th, Patty




I have not forgotten, the first time I saw you

As you glided into your chair

How your smile overtook the lighted room

And your eyes seized all the air


I have not forgotten, when I held your hand

And felt the spark of your fingertips

Or the dizzying taste of sparkling wine

In the kiss that fell from your lips


I have not forgotten, how you looked

When day gave in to night

And the moon lay soft upon your skin

While your eyes reflected its light


I have not forgotten, promises we made

Or the tests we faced time and again

When storms, we oft brought on ourselves

Sought fiercely to bring us to an end


I have not forgotten, the love that bound

While other ties were broken

When the words “I’m sorry, and I love you still”

Were real when they were spoken


I have not forgotten, how you stood

For all you believed was right

Or the comforting touch of your gentle hand

On mine, through life’s uncertain night

 
No, I have not forgotten, I should not forget

And certain sure, I never will

For all that caused me to love you then

Does cause me to love you still
