Poem for Andrea on Our 11th Wedding Anniversary

Summing Up 11years with My True Love and Best Friend in 148 Words

A life well lived is full of action
A life well lived is full of surprise
A life well lived bares fruit of achievement
A life well lived bares memories galore

Partnerships can be much different
Beginning with hopes and dreams
Often ending in disappointment

Once in a while a magical match
Allows a partnership to further advance

A love well lived is full of forgiveness
A love well lived is full of respect
A love well lived bares scars of remorse
A love well lived bares witness to joy

Time not only heals, it binds
True joy comes from acceptance and peace
True love creates its own sustenance

Once in a while a magical love
Allows two to become more than they ever once were

To have lived well and loved well is a masterful achievement
Continuing to live well and love well is a joyous thought
