Anniversary Song

Don’t get out to concerts much anymore.
Don’t even get out much anymore.
Don’t get to watch a video or even TV,
Not of our choosing. Now that’s there’s three.

I don’t know how I survived
Those days before I held your hand
Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
as a face in a crowd of people
that lights up just for you?

Tried to slip in a DVD. A concert we missed.
But we don’t travel, so we plan stealing a kiss.
Romantic song, Anniversary Song, we light candles
Try to steal a moment. Try re-lighting our candle.

Have you ever felt more wonderful
as when you wake
by the side of that boy or girl
who has pledged their love to you?

We cuddle on the couch … Stolen kiss.
The two year old realizes there’s something amiss
Without attention, she launches herself
To land between us. Where she belongs.

I have known all these things
and the joys that they can bring
And I’ll share them all for a cup of coffee
and I’ll wear your ring

There must be a poem in here, I say.
Happy Anniversary.
