Jan read the poem I wrote, then removed from the blog, and she said it was OK to post it after all. She only dislikes it when I "exaggerate her qualities" (like I could). Anyway, for those of you who care, here is the poem I wrote for her:
Dear Jan,
Soon we celebrate our 36th year together.
In that time I have come to know,
Far better than I knew,
Just what love really is.
Sometimes I wish I could meet you,
Fall in love with you,
And marry you all over again.
And yet, in a very real sense,
I meet you anew
Every day,
I fall in love with you again
Every day,
And I renew my marriage vows with you
Every day.
Our lives have become a kind of dance –
My movements are meaningless,
Even comical,
Unless I know that you are moving with me;
And I try my best to complement the moves you make.
Thank you for making my life beautiful,
Meaningful,
Joyous, and
Whole.
You are my life, my heart, my love forever.
We Know Better
