(also known as that time I noticed a four leaf clover, right in front of me)
So it comes I tell him, tomorrow
time again
to
renew, review or
renegotiate the terms of our agreement
twenty-nine years in the making
of
us
hey, you signed the contract, I often say
to which he is also reminded that I gave him
ample opportunity to withdraw the offer
before said
signing
and we made our vows to what you think you know
but of course
you really have no possible idea of what’s to come
for better for worse,
for richer,
for poorer
in sickness and in health
til death do us part…
how about
to laughter and to tears
to strain and to triumph,
to bolster and support
to madden and infuriate
to gladden an
inspire
to comfort and cajole, to cheer and to boast
and to sometimes
disappoint
to be fully human, to be fully giving of all of
one’s messiness and moods
to allowing one’s growth and one’s
grace
to touching, to feeling and to
space
to honouring, and to cherishing
the cultivation of a
life
together
in gratitude for love
to accepting, to encouraging
and most importantly of all, to a kindness
in all things
well then, I tell him
twenty-nine years of this,
I guess
we’ll just keep trying ♥ 😉 ♥
