Gregory,
On this day as we are
United in marriage
You might offer me a penny
For my thoughts
And this
I would say to you...
You once wondered
If you were strong enough
Yet you have shared your strength
With me
Throughout our journey together
Even when our steps were distanced
Apart
And I skinned my knees, ripped my jeans
On the many paved, cobblestone,
Crushed stone and dirt roads
We have traversed
You were always there to
Pick me up
We have traveled far
We have traveled long
Happiest when we strode beside
So we held on
Walked on
Held and kissed and bear hugged
You are my friend, companion
I am happy to share with you
Dreams, love, life
As we embark
Into our future
And this joyous ride
That will not break our ties
Of the past
But instead strengthen them
With the bond of love we share
For each other
And I love you
Always
In my heart, my soul, my mind
If you wonder...
Penny for...

Memories To Keep
They are memories to keep
But with you forever
They are memories to keep
Even now as you weep
And you’ll always remember
Your yesterdays together
They are memories to keep

Breaking
Glass
Clear, unshattered
Stone is thrown
It cracks and breaks
Glass
Feelings
Lost, unhealed
Words are thrown
They crack and break
Feelings

Soaky
Little boy in bath
Washing away the dirt
From his day outside
Reminds me of innocence
When he says, "I'm so soaky."
