And so they went
Your story and mine
Down separate roads
Decades of time.
Cicadas in my summers
Surf on your shore
Spouses, kids and whatnots
We never asked for more.
But what God does not sanction
Time will erode
And finally we were swallowed
By dreams that overflowed.
So life has come full circle,
Desires long left alone
Are coming to fruition
In a place we now call home.
Your birthday’s just another day
To celebrate our find,
A youthful love, a simple gift,
Two lives forever twined.
