Anniversary Sonnet

If this year is a taste of my life
I want to feast on the seasons in store.
No more content with the roles of before
I need you, forever, to be my wife.

In forty years and forty such poems,
In hundreds of household dollars well-spent,
In millions of kisses and nights content,
My love will still find, in your heart, its home.

If, to others, we seem from some distant
Dream, and our passion they cannot fathom,
Let us appeal to what they call ration
And credit our love to luck or lament.

We will continue to dream what is true
To credit success to Him, whom it’s due.

Sight is an always awful beginning

How sweet and how very lucky to have spent forty years with such sentiment!  Much enjoyed your lovely written sonnet.

Thanx, everybody. I'm not actually married yet. We've been dating a year and we're going to be married in 2 more months.
