An Anniversary---“If…”
“Hey! Handsome!
Don’t hurt yourself!”
Wow! ’Tis sweet
“Candy”-girl I’ve heard so much about.
She sure is a
looker! Talking to little ole me as I chop this tree.
Born to a great
family, how could such luck prevail?
I fell in love
right then and there at the tender age of twelve.
That silly
seminary admission test recently took I? Forget it! Baby!
“Who?” I am is
simple enough.
“What?” Begs
information like “I love you!”
“Where?” Here!
Right here and now! In our time together.
“When?” Through
Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter-time delight.
“How?” Full
speed ahead! Flat out! All the way! Any minute. Every time.
“Why?” Easy…“Thy
will be done…” Fear and worry banned. Trust God! Follow Him!
Blessed be our
lives, our true love;
Faith! Family!
Freedom! Sacred Trinity!
Catherine
Elizabeth, our “Beth” along with:
Rachel Rebecca,
“Becky”-girl, to treasure each.
Z. Tyler, our
“Rye-Rye” man, our bright boy to love;
Lauren Victoria,
“the little professor” so sweet and pure;
Alexandria
Elizabeth, our “Lexli-Lu” most lovely princess true;
Anna Marie, our
“Annie Rie” blondie pistol-a through and through.
And, Lady
Candice Leah! A beauty! How I do love thee!
Those diamonds
in our fine life together sparkle just like you
Through every
value-virtue vein of Christian love for all to see,
Saintly example
you do show; in angel choir where doth thou reside.
In that new
Spring of nature’s young man time
Rising passion
sweet upon this rich prepared earth
To Summer
lightning-flash in echo thunder rumble crash
Taste fresh
rains upon a mirror-surfaced placid crystal lake
Autumnal-Fall
kaleidoscope of painter’s palette colored splash
Plays chase then
tag in “Catch me if you can, my friend!” all day
But, Winter-frozen
white blizzard snow beautifies stark landscape pure
Not one
history-stated long past day should I dare change if even that I could
“If…” I should
challenge chance to live it all again once more---
Surely, my Love,
would I repeat precise these times with thee adored! Amen!
Happy
Anniversary!
November 25,
2012 (46 years!)
Love Eternal,
Carl
