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
