Six Years

Six years ago today, Kimberly Kaye Moore and I stood before a Justice of the Peace, in my backyard, and said "I will"...

Betrothed, we became a single entity with a shared purpose: to make each day special and to love one another until the end of time.

Six years.

Time, it seems, presses on at a break-neck pace.

So much has happened in such a small span of time: our marriage, our adventure in Scotland, our trek to Salem, the loss of my wife's mother, the illness of my father, the birth of our son, taking custody of my wife's sister...

Through it all, we have remained steadfast in our love for one another.

She is my most treasured friend, my light when all else is dark.

I love her today so much more than I did

when I spoke those official words that

bound us before God and Man.

I want to take this moment to declare before the world that my love for my dear Kim is stronger than ever... that without her I would be but an empty husk.

She is a fabulous mother, a trusted friend, a loving wife and I am damned lucky to have her in my life.

I love you, my sweet... you are my beloved... a gift from the gods, you are my muse... you are my wife... forever and ever... it is you and I...

For Kim

Softly, a whisper

I feign mystery

Though its course might change

The river always meets the sea

In silent reflection

A love most sincere

When words of love are spoken

They always reach your ear

Joined everlasting

We have become one

And as the years drift slowly by

So much stronger we've become

You cast away the darkness

But allow the rain to fall

Because our true love everlasting

Is the greatest gift of all

It shines across the world

Lifted high 'pon autumn's wing

And from my heart to yours

It begs the world to sing

Showered with the blessing

Of the love you give to me

And in return I give to you

Love for eternity...

Happy Anniversary Kim.

I love you.
