and you can tell everybody…

About a month ago, I text him
Hey, I found our wedding song!
it’s a song called
I Won’t Let You Down, by Toby Keith
the chorus of which is

  I ain’t got a pot of gold
   Girl I ain’t even got a rainbow

   But I’ve heard that love is where
  Treasure can be found
  Don’t expect too much from me
  And I won’t let you down

seems fitting,
for us

don’t suppose he even listened to it
aren’t I
the sentimental one
most days I can find something
in a
song
and do tend to find love… everywhere

or is it love, perhaps
tends more
to find me

today, we celebrate 32 years
as Mr &
Mrs

a small dusty album of photos
sits on the book shelf
a quick flip through, and it’s astonishing just
how many people we have lost
in these years

all these smiles,
many moments to treasure
the great surrounding of love we
have been blessed with

about a month ago, my Mother-in-law says
I remember your wedding
they (she and my Father-in-law) didn’t know how
we were going to make it
they had this notion that we were too young
not
“established” enough
not following more traditional
patterns

to look at the pictures now,
everyone
appears to be young

we didn’t really have a
wedding song,
a much less formal affair
we were more focused on
the ever after part

I guess we found our own pot of gold
somehow…

seems
we’ve made it this far

and would you just look

what love
can do ♥

… don’t expect too much from me
and I won’t let you down
