A GIFT FOR LOVE

( for Gerry and Monica )


Here, at the very edge of
Spring

your love
begins

43 years now
( and counting )

you two
the shining beacon

of what being
married is.

Outside,
the first daffodil

rears its
beautiful head

nods to the breeze
that yes of course it knows

whose anniversary
this is

the sheer richness of
such togetherness

the treasure of
Gerry's laughter

the jewel of
Monica's smile

I too in love
with how you love

I send you
this daffodil

made of words.
