Poem for my husband on our anniversary.

There is a pattern between you and me,

The week before our anniversary.

We seem to have the toughest time,

But grace is the focus of our life.

If it weren’t for His love,

That comes from above,

Our love would be shallow

And wouldn’t last the morrow.

But through it all our love stands firm.

It is by grace and mercy, to confirm.

And so it is that even now,

We are still in love, and oh how.

So this year, I say to you,

Look up to Him to carry us through.

And while you look, say a prayer

Because it is for you, that I will always care.

I know that I would miss you terribly,

If ever we were carelessly,

Forgetting the promises we have made,

Just to get by and know no pain.

And so I say Happy Anniversary,

To you and to me.

Because this year is eighteen,

And the best is yet to be seen.
