Bob and I will be celebrating
our 14th Wedding Anniversary
this Wednesday...
Here's an anniversary poem
written for my hubby...
BETHESDA, 14 YEARS
LATER—
For Bob, with love—10/21/2020
There’s a framed poem
hanging on our kitchen wall
that I wrote while we were
on our honeymoon
We were at the Pool of Bethesda
in the Holy land—
Our tour guide told us
Bethesda means
house of loving-kindness
At that precise moment, I vowed
our home would be Bethesda—
a house of loving-kindness
Today is our 14th anniversary
and that honeymoon promise
has held true
Our home is still our sanctuary—
our peaceful refuge
It is a humble dwelling
but the very place we are pleased
to return to when the key
turns in the lock
As we enter, you predictably quote
Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz:
There’s no place
like home!
Those words
and our shared happiness
never fail to put a smile on my face
Happy anniversary, darling!
God bless you for being
the cherished personification
of loving-kindness in my life
Maude Carolan Pych
