HAP Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Here is the poem I wrote for Jane and left at her grave this morning. Peace, Harry For Jane on our 24th Anniversary September 2, 2013 We cannot renew our vows today. We will not wake together, Nor open cards and presents As the sun rises. We cannot renew our vows today. We will not hold hands on some mountaintop, Nor share soft kisses Beneath the sun at noon. We cannot renew our vows today. We will not share an evening meal, Nor toast another dozen years At sunset. We cannot renew our vows today. We will not sleep entwined, Nor whisper wishes To the moon and stars. We cannot renew our vows today. You lie beneath the hilltop And skirt the heavens. I walk the earth. We cannot renew our vows today, And I am drowned in salted rain.
