These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Joy of Anniversaries

We live as friends throughout our days
to Joy, and Love, and make new things.
A quiet even at home or plays
gives moment's bliss as music sings.

These 36 blest years I'll share
with my wondrous lady soon I trow.
So, wondrous now to joy and care
on August 1st this year, I know.

These past six years an honor's grown
to be part of this family.
We write in genres, lives more known
'mid writers, whom we daily see.

Each year remember days we start
to live with ones, who mean so much.
Life's partner lives by hand and heart.
Life's friendships anniversary touch.
