On our Anniversary

  • prayer

Kyrie Yeshua

You have made true
Words spoken in ignorance
Words spoken in faith
Words spoken as markers of hope

You have made true
The covenant of broken participants
And honored your name in it

Bless you, God of love
God of hope and faith
God of husband and wife
God of communion

Bless you, God of love
Who taught us to live as prayer
Spoken in echo of you

For my wife of 6 years, Gretchen, who has taught me more about love than any book or poem, song or movie. May our life ahead be as blessed as our life behind.

  1. I love you. You are far more eloquent than I.

  2. Congratulations, Gretchen and Michael. Not quite as poetic, Michael, as my 7-year-anniversary blog entry last week, which spoke of drunkenness, Thai food and the fact that my wedding day nearly took my young life, but you’ll get there, with time. [smile]

    With love,
    Cerise

  3. Congratulations! I was just looking at my calendar and thinking of you two and your
    lovely tea party reception. That was such fun! :0) I hope you have a wonderful day
    together!

    Hugs, Karen
