Anniversary

The day we exchanged vows

Does it seem so far away,

For you, as for me?

Do you wonder the moment

Our eyes crossed,

And our hearts met?

Do you curse that day,

As if I stepped into your life

To disrupt it for good?

Or do you think

With wonder and awe

Of destiny’s tangled, yet -

Perfect ways –

Of bringing two strangers

Together?

For I cannot imagine a life

As beautiful

And troublesome

As ours.

And I would not have it

Any other way.

For the biggest joy

Is seeing

Your big innocent eyes

Reflected back

From the little creature

We created.

Perfection.
