Happy Fourth Anniversary
Hear me read
the
poem as
an MP3 file.
Happy fourth anniversary!
A moment to reflect on life and
love.
Praised be those who whittle what they
see,
Presuming their surroundings to
improve.
Yearning needs companionship, and
choice
Finds most content when joined, as though in
song,
Open to a harmonizing voice,
United in conviction twice as
strong.
Rejoice, then, in the fortune of your
fate,
The sweet dependence of your chosen state,
Happy in a love where you
belong.
