Flame & Fire...... Poem by Marshall E Gass

As endless as the clock that ticked
in tune to our heartbeat,
you reflected, the beginning of time
like the universe of our love,
for thirty five long exhilarating years.

I collected stardust from your stars
you collected memories for both of us.

Even as the children arrived bearing gifts
of beautiful smiles and late night restlessness,
we still turned to each other to put the nightlights
down and count our blessings above the hustle and bustle.

Wrapped in the finery of love and longing,
thirty five years later
the song we played at our wedding
never stopped playing.

As I watched you
and you watched me
God watched over all of us
keeping the fires alight
for us for ever. That is love.
Yet we have just started out......

Author Notes

True love has no boundaries or fences and never dies down. True love burns
forever and is made better by all the ups and downs. Love that lasts for one day at a time, eventually adds up to a lifetime.
Happy Anniversary. Read this again when you touch your 50th. It will mean a whole lot more!
