Counting Down

Counting down
to two years, moments of memories
of the start of our lives anew
our start of our dating, our courtship,
engagement, joining in marriage
soon to fall on the calendar, our shared
calendar of our shared life together
minutes, second, days, months, twenty-four
starting this month, tomorrow our first time
together, studying your word, two weeks
and our first date
So much joy in remembering that
excitement, the learning about one another
the revelation of children, beautiful girls
to spend time with her, with them all
Exploring new feelings, parallel history,
odd, repeating, coincidences, curious
snippets of shared names, clustered hints
by the creator of safety, belonging
two years like minutes, etched in our hearts
permanent marker, indelible ink
