For My Husband

One
plus one
makes two,  but
two is nothing 
without commitment.
Through glad times and through tears,
we’ve lasted forty-plus years.
On and on we go, for with you
I belong; together we are strong!

March 18, 2018
Dedicated to my husband Joel, who like wine, got better with time.
Entered for Silent One's 'Together we are strong' Poetry Contest

Congratulations on your win Andrea. So much togetherness and so much strength. I am at 38 years, but that is 28 and 10 years. The ten years feel much stronger. You wrote a 'simple' poem, but love is that simple in a way. Many wishes, Kai

Honey, you are not married to Joel, you said "I do" to Joe. Other than that humorous typo, you landed this one quite steady and strong. My write is too late for the contest which is a ridiculous one to miss!!! Ouch. I think I have caught up with your poetry that I so enjoy. Love ... CayCay

Beautiful Andrea! I love reading love stories as you have penned. Commitment is key. I don’t have anything posted right now but am putting a shoutout for Armand. If you get a chance read his latest poem. So nice to see fellow poets get noticed for their brilliant work. :)
