I'll admit, sometimes
pause at each
twinkling eyes.
happy memory,
in photographs
of our early days
as they smile
back to me.
On our anniversary
Of course, we're
somewhat older
now, but at once
I recognize,
the charming grin,
the handsome chin,
the laughing,
The arms that then felt so comforting,
which still hold me close at night,
the arms that gently
touched me, still clasp mine
just as tight..
