This poem is for Michael for our two year anniversary. I often find that my words are lacking and can’t truly capture how I feel about you, but they will have to do.
Love you Michael, so very much.
When we first started
on our journey together,
we made a seed of light.
We planted it in the ground
and over time, we made sure
that it had all it could need
so that it could grow into
something wonderful.
Our love was like water
to the seed, nurturing it
within the ground.
Our support for each other
was like the earth,
keeping it safe storms.
Every time we said
“I love you.”
to each other, that was
like the wind. And
every time we felt our
hearts growing bigger with
love for each other,
that was like the sun,
shining down upon it.
Now our seed has grown
into a tree that stretches
its branches out from
the earth and into the sky.
Its branches reach into the
clouds themselves and along
all of the branches, there are
mementos and ornaments
of the time we’ve spent together.
I can hardly wait to see
where the tree will take us
and how we will grow with it,
until it touches the heavens
and beyond.
