Wed on an equinox, yet always
I am a pilgrim in her garden.
I am tired from trimming
Trees along the fence, yet,
Next year, even older like
Today, hope to descend
This ladder and lay my
Chainsaw in its box--
I am an old ox with a
New pain in my shoulder.
Yet, and yet it seems
Sometimes like she and
I have only just met.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. You sounds like a lucky guy.

Thanks! Luck is finite, Julia. I have conserved my luck in other areas since I found her. Wouldn't want to run out.
Delete"Vertrautheit" und "Überraschendes" - familiarity and surprise don't catch the meaning fully - both necessary ingrediants for a long-lasting love. Congratulations to Norma and you to your wedding anniversary!
ReplyDeleteDear Brigitta, In der Liebe bin ich immer wieder überrascht. Thank you!
DeleteA beautiful tribute to her. Happy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteAnd a lovely, much-appreciated comment. Kind Emma.
DeleteHappy Anniversary, Geo. and Norma. May you have many more.
ReplyDeleteO Jenny, thanks! Norma and her French-speaking garden have enough fleurs for a happy future. You have a happy future too, deal?
DeleteYou are indeed a lucky man.
ReplyDeleteWe never know quite when it will happen but sometimes we all get lucky --even me!
