  • I Found Your Cards Today


    They were Thanksgiving and Christmas.
    They were last years and we were
    young in our relationship,
    and in our love.


    Thanksgiving and you wrote
    "I feel like a child,"
    and I remember blushing
    and wondering.



    Wondering where love might
    lead us, wondering why
    I was anxious to share the leftover
    happiness of Thanksgiving
    with only you.


    And then



    A Christmas star slipped
    from the ceiling







    of the sky.


    Your heart is a star catcher




    and I
    will fill it up


    with the dancing light in my eye. 



    You thanked me for
    sharing and celebrating
    a new life with you, making
    it special and complete.


    They were Thanksgiving and Christmas.
    This is our present season's love, our love.
    Our love grows as we grow to love
    ourselves, always expanding and eternal.


    We are creating a new life and this is
    continually creating love.


    Can anyone deny the truth in this?
