Astonishment

That you married me
That the sun rose, the day after you died
That first snowdrops still blossom in the cold
That winter, depression, grief and frustration are not winning
That my smallness matters, when I stand beneath the starry sky
That purity, faith, hope, love, truth, steadfastness and kindness always win

Andrew, every line of this and the title all work together in this cohesive completeness... I want to pick out a line and say Oh I love this line...but each line is just so darn good! ... I read it and say "aw" with each line and "yes! amen" at the end.
