The exact date of our anniversary will be June 14th. It is the one important date I never forget. These anniversaries make me want to write. I decided I wanted to give this to Barb while we are still in Puerto Rico, and stayed up late to get it done. I want to share with everyone how I feel about her, so I decided to post a copy here.

My left arm fits across your shoulder as we lie in bed each night.
I have grown an old man’s tummy, and there is a place for it up against the small of your back.
You sleep so peacefully, my body at your side, my ticking heart a comfort to your dreams.
We married young, but I had looked for you for years.
Life had worked on me to form a serious demeanor, and I searched in earnest for you.
Despite my youth, I somehow knew-everything else depended on this choice.
I will claim one great strength-an sense for what is beautiful and permanent.
You are beautiful, and will always be beautiful-your beauty is permanent, and my eye will never cease to see that beauty.
There was a day I knew that I must ask-a day that you said yes-and I have walked in beauty from that day.
And it was true, as I knew it must be. Everything depended on that choice.
 
Are you sure your married? This sounds more like a courting poem. :D

May I ask how young your were when you married?
 
I had too. Lyn and I married at 18. Graduated Sunday June 1st, got married Saturday, June 7th and had our first son July 22nd. Don't think you need a calculator for that one.
 
Lovely poem Dennis. I know you are both blessed to have each other.
