Here is the poem I wrote for my husband and read to him at our wedding reception ten years ago today. No other words could be truer today. Happy Anniversary to the love of my life!!
This Promise
There is a silence
Broken
When a word
Is born -
Who could foretell
Who dared to dream
Yet here we are
What spinning universe
Fell out of sync
What power
Knotted in its own deceit
What desire
Quenched its enduring flame
And written song
Left unheard
Waiting still
For that voice
To make
The right touch upon our ear
The greatest pillars
Of history
Shook
With a mighty roar
I am sure
That foundations will falter -
That trees
Will sweep their stately
Boughs
To the ground
In prayer
On my soul
I swear
The sands
Will drink the overflow
of the ocean's tears
Because we loved.
