![]() Twenty-six years ago our marriage had just begun. We were children then, still learning the ways of life, not knowing or caring of the trials yet to come. We loved one another with passions unbounded, heat of the sun, unbridled tempest raging as our hearts wove starry pathways, blending our souls into one. Today we are older, the raging heat has faded some, but the love that follows those carefree years, is strong, full, and our hands still touch with a spark from the heart, that magical glow that says we are one, even when apart. I love you, my friend, my wife, mother of our children, as together we walk the path through the rest of our life. w. james beard, jr. © December 2000 Of course, the picture is also 26 years ago...

Beautiful, I'm quite sure your wife will be overwhelmed by this poem. As you said love does change after awhile, but I believe love grows even more within the heart. When you can just look at each other and know that you are one. |
