The Poem by Raymond A. Foss
A year ago A poem took shape First in my heart Then on the printed page. Born of my love for you.
Words gave power To the feelings I had and have. Strong and primitive Pure and primal.
A hope, a prayer, a wish, and a promise All from my heart to yours.
How the words ring in my soul: A wish for a long and happy life together. A prayer for healthy children to brighten our days. A hope for the newness to last. A promise to love you forever.
We must fight for the newness to last. I will love you forever. We can have a long and happy life together. Children will be our choice to make, If We are ever ready.
There is magic. We can make it happen. If we believe In Us.
How far we have come How close we are To what we deserve. To what we must cling to. If we are to live.
