TWO DECADES OR SO

TWO DECADES OR SO

twenty five years ago our paths crossed

in a rather unexpected way and

twenty years ago they merged into

one road with rather wide shoulders;

and, over the years, these shoulders

became so narrow that the only

road left was our original path we

began walking some two decades ago;

and, as that path continues nowadays

it narrows each year, leaving us

carrying each other when necessary

along the path of our winding journey;

and, as we carry each other, we learn

the undeniable importance of trust,

partnerships, and love that have always

given us our wonderful anniversaries;

and, this year has been no exception

even though the carrying has been mostly

you for which I am eternally grateful,

never being able to repay your caring.
