A Different Anniversary Poem by Raymond A Foss

A year ago we completed a journey
of faith, of hope, of love
A different anniversary than our first

Our first, a four month ago,
was a first sharing of I do's,
our joining before God and friends
under a snow filled sky
in God's creation

Today is the first anniversary
of our covenant before You
in our house of faith
joining our hands and hearts
not in contract but in
loving covenant

How I love you more today
a richer, deeper commitment
a more mature love
as we continue our journey
in another season
together
