Happy Anniversary, verse # 12

Happy Anniversary…

Writers have tried to describe it in verse and in prose,
this feeling that begins as the sweetest little twinge
and grows over time into something magnificently unique,
overwhelming at times, subtle at others, but always present,
as I look back over the years we’ve been together,
sorting through boxes of memories, smiles and tears,
I grin when I remember that sweet little twinge that started it all,
and I feel grateful joy when I think of all that it’s grown to be.
