SOL 19 Slice #12 Being With You

I am participating in the
 Slice of Life Story Challenge (SOL19)
All participants are writing about one moment, one part of their day, every day for the month of March 2019.

A big thank you to Two Writing Teachers for providing this unique opportunity

for teacher-writers to share and reflect.

It's my anniversary...Tony and I celebrate 31 years of marriage today! Here's an attempt at poetry (31 lines!) to commemorate our special day...

BEING WITH YOU

finding one another
chatting, conversing, joking, charming, sweet-talking, 
dreaming, hoping, and longing

dating, being with
piano-playing, softball-throwing, ping-pong-challenging
shoveling snow, retreating, burrowing together

reading, making playlists, writing love notes
fitting together well

hugging, kissing, caressing

 being gentle with one another
marrying 

baking biscuits, keeping house, taking care of one another
moving, dancing, laughing
intertwining
having babies, raising boys

creating a home, a family, a life together

walking, climbing, hiking, traversing, exploring the great outdoors
traveling, sightseeing

praying, believing

surprising, intriguing, listening
caring, devouring, trusting, honoring, treasuring

persevering

hungering for and satisfying
supporting and comforting, mourning together, holding each other up

wrapping in warm tender love 

 becoming grandparents, hearts swelling, together
making memories and reminiscing

growing old together
handling with care
loving

holding on to one another
