[ You Could Say That In The Bigger Scheme Of Things ]
[ My Love For You Is Not Attached By Strings ]

[ I Do Not Need To Be Tethered To You Or You To Me ]
[ That Gives You The Freedom To Walk Away Free ]

[ If That Is Where Our Relationship Should Go ]
[ If That Is The Case ]
[ Then Only You Would Know ]

[ We Try To Have Good Communication Going Back & Forth ]
[ We Always Need Our Heads To Be Headed North ]

[ We Have Far Surpassed The (26) Year Mark ]
[ We Are Still In Drive ]
[ As Opposed To Being, Stuck In Park ]

[ We Sure Have Hit Our Share Of Potholes On Our Narrow
Road ]
[ But Every Year We Carry A Heavier Load ]

[ Will We Be Dragging Our Asses Across That (50) Year Finish
Line? ]
[ My Problems Become Yours ]
[ & Yours Become Mine ]

[ I Am Ready To Learn Something New Every Day ]
[ Taught By You, In Your Own Special Way ]

[ Day In & Day Out ]
[ We Are Still Learning What Each Other Is About ]

[ Through The Years The Winds Change ]
[ That Does Not Give Good Reason To Go Out & Get Some
Strange ]

[ But Then Again We Are Forgiving Pair ]
[ Would Walking Away Be Fair? ]

[ Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust ]
[ Finding The Right Partner Is A Must ]

[ Through The Years We Have Had Our Fill Of Turmoil ]
[ Maybe That Is When Our Joints Need A Little Oil ]

[ Joy Is What You Seek ]

(1234)▪︎[ How It All Happened … 10•12•2019 ]

[ We Met One Day, Downstairs In A Breakroom ]
[ After That Casual Meeting ]
[ I Didn’t Know That A Year & A Half Later I’d Be Your Groom ]
[ All Of This After I Asked You If You Wanted To
     Rent The Other Room ]

[ It Seems Like We Were Meant To Be Husband & Wife ]
[ The Third Degree Of Separation ]
[ Happened Very Early In My Life ]

[ It Was Like The Turning Of The Clock ]
[ When My Father’s Mother ]
[ Lived Near Your Family Almost On The Same Block ]

[ Then I Was Asked What Your Last Name Was ]
[ Why Did She Want To Know? ]
[ Oh, Just Because? ]

[ When I Said The Name I Gave Your Mother’s Maiden Name ]
[ I Don’t Know Why I Said It ]
[ Because It Wasn’t Even Close To Being The Same ]

[ It Turned Out That Your Mother & My Step-Mother
     Went To School Together When They Were Young ]
[ It’s Not Like The Ladder Was Sturdy ]
[ When I Climbed It Rung By Rung ]

[ I Loved Everything About You When We Talked Late Into
     The Night ]
[ But There Was No Spark ]
[ Until … ]
[ One Day I Woke-Up & Saw You Under A Different Light ]

[ Right Away We Knew We Were Meant For Each Other ]
[ I’ve Had Plenty Of Dates With Other Women In The Past ]
[ After That Awakening Day, I Never Wanted Another ]

[ I Knew I Wanted To Marry You As Soon As Possible ]
[ But Getting You A Good Ring ]
[ Was Far From Probable ]

[ Then I Went To Alaska For The Wedding Of A Friend From
     My College Years ]
[ When I Was Up There I Talked About You So Much ]
[ I Possibly Hurt Their Ears ]

[ From That Conversation a Diamond Wedding Ring Set Fell
     Into My Lap ]
[ I Told Her That There Will A Gap ]

[ Between Now & When It Would Be Paid ]
[ I Thought The Woman Was So Excited ]
[ I Could Have Got Laid ]

[ I Went & Got On The Plane With The Ring Set ]
[ Stuffed In A Box ]
[ & Then Into My Pocket ]

[ I Had To Wait A Few Months Before I Could Propose ]
[ December 25th, 1994 Was The Date That I Chose ]

[ @ First Her Mom Sent Her Off To Another Room With
     A Task ]
[ When She Came Back ]
[ I Knelt Down In Front Of Her & Said That I had Something
     That I Wanted To Ask ]

[ As I Contemplated Where To Sit ]
[ I Looked Her In The Eyes & Asked … (WHAT TIME IS IT?) ]

(144)▪︎[ Roses … 2•15•2020 ]

[ Roses, Roses A Dozen Roses For You ]
[ How Many, How Many? ]
[ There Should Be A Bunch Of Six Times Two ]

[ I Wanted To Send Two Bunches Of Six In Each ]
[ One Bunch Is Yellow ]
[ & The Other Is Peach ]

[ I Hope In Some Small Way ]
[ That It Would Make Your Day ]

[ I Wanted It To Be Large ]
[ & In Charge ]

[ Stand It High On Top Of A Book ]
[ So When Your Fellow Employees Walk By ]
[ They Can Do Nothing But Look ]

[ They Might Ignore You, But I Won’t ]
[ If They Knew The You @ Home ]
[ They Will Answer The Question Of Why I Don’t ]

[ So You Could Act Like The Mad Hatter ]
[ & Show Those People ]
[ That To Me, You Matter ]

[ @ Home You Have A Loving Husband & Son ]
[ I Am Your Moon ]
[ Like You Are My Sun ]

[ My Stories May Not Earn Me Money ]
[ & That Is Okay With Me ]

[ I Don’t Need A Holiday To Do This ]
[ I Have Been Remiss ]
[ Because Sending You Flowers ]
[ Is Something I Miss ]

[ I Love You Forever & Ever … Amen ]
[ I Hope You Never Feel That I Only Love You ]
[ Now & Then ]

(361)▪︎[ You … 4•10•2020 ]

[ I Love You More Than Life Itself ]
[ Not Her Or Him ]
[ Or Anyone Else ]

[ Every Second, Of Every Hour, Of Every Day ]
[ I Listen To Every Word That You Say ]
[ & I Love The Way That You Love Me In Your
Own Unique Way ]

[ Love & Marriage Does Not Come With An Instruction Booklet ]
[ There Was No One To Get Answers To The Questions When
We Met ]
[ There’s No ( GO ) After Someone Says ( READY, SET ) ]

[ After Adjusting To Our Married Name ]
[ I Saw That Nothing Was Ever Going To Be The Same ]

[ From Day One To 25 Years ]
[ There’s Been Good & Bad Times ]
[ & Many Cheers & Tears ]

[ As I’ve Grown Older ]
[ I’ve Seen ]
[ You Always Gave Me Your Shoulder ]

[ To Cry & Lean On ]
[ I Am Glad That Your Magic Touch Is Not Gone ]
