For Jane On Our 24Th Anniversary


Recommended Posts

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.

This is lovely, Harry. I know the loneliness especially on an anniversary.

With love,
Mary
