REMEMBERING
29 years ago I woke up
Nervous, determined
My best man and man
Let me know how lucky
I was am will be
We primped and
Straightened ties, took pictures
By the purple rhody up in front
I got into my little red democrat car
And sallied in my stallion
(No, really! A
Mini-hobbie-horse, a
Leftover Christmas ornament
Bounced my rear view mirror as
I galloped northward)
A cassette played
Philip Glass, no less
Philip Glass, no less
Me in my tux
Wending north:
“Over and over again:
Bravery. Kindness. Clarity
Honesty. Compassion. Generosity”
I try to live these words with you
And when I don’t, I’m sorry
One year shy of thirty
We set out again
Adventurers both
Marking the remarkable
Happy anniversary!
