Love's Journey

under a summer sky

we clink glasses
to years of memories

thoughts 
come to rest
love's journey continues

While rose ceremonies trended on social media, a private exchange of memories at a favorite restaurant sufficed for yet another anniversary. 


My husband and I share a tradition of exchanging cards on our anniversary.
I am surprising him with this page of thoughts.

    1. Thanks for the happy thoughts. Rose ceremonies-LOL-At the end of the Bachelorette show the young lady chooses a man to give a rose to until she whittles the group down to one man. That person gets the final rose as a pledge of togetherness.

  2. What a beautiful poem, Carol. Real. And real lovely. So different to the hype and fakeness that can be portrayed through social media. Happy anniversary.

    1. Heidi, thank you for hosting and recognizing that a simple set of words held a depth of meaning. I reworked the poem many times to not be as obvious as when I started to write. Love’s journey is full of surprises and setbacks but hope and faith are great guides.
