do you love me?
yes, i love you.
a little or a lot?
i love you lots.
forty years worth?
i’ve loved you an ATROCIOUS
amount of time!
~~~~~~~
how did we make it FORTY years?
one question at a time, one answer at a time
one smile at a time, one laugh at a time
one promise at a time, one prayer at a time
one choice at a time, one challenge at a time
one wink at a time, one eye roll at a time
one argument at a time, one concession at a time
one tear at a time, one joy at a time
one kiss at a time, one hug at a time
one step at a time, one sleep at a time
one son at a time, one season at a time
one day at a time, one moment at a time
forty years of blessing is a gift of God’s GRACE!

Lynn,
I absolutely love this. One prayer at a time and one earnest talk at a time has somehow gotten us through 47 years, that you are approaching as well. Belated congratulations as I went and found this lovely poem today.
