Time enriched, our love,
a bit faded, never worn,
expectations forgiven,
plans long let go.
Our fingertips reach
for the other, instinctively,
embrace and enjoy
what is gifted today.
by Margaret Bednar, May 5, 2013
It is my 23rd Wedding Anniversary today. Words will never express these amazing years and I feel truly blessed. I believe our best years are ahead of us, as being a bit "time-enriched" we have finally learned a few of life's valuable lessons.
