(a lower case) Happy Anniversary – v3

Not one of the big ones, counted,
the Golden, the Silver, not even Tin
But one of our special days, we remember,
a date on the calendar, written on our lives,
A lower case happy anniversary
for each of us

Reminding us, of the day in Your church,
Now more than ten years ago
When we repeated our vows,
those cried out on that December morn’
in the open, under that snowy sky

Sharing words of our love, for each of us
covenantal, deep, abiding, enduring
in ancient words of scripture
in the prayers prayed over us
binding us together, tighter
now Before our family, our God, our church

Saying happy anniversary this morning,
Sitting, stilled, for a moment,
Sharing some toast at the table
Amid the bustle of our day
A smile on your face in reply
Stealing a bit of time, precious,
Sharing time together
On one of our continuing
lower case anniversary days
