The Nature of Love

Nearing 50, Valentine's Day, for me, isn't so much about

 

 

  flowers,

 

and candy, 

 

 

but about the history, of him and me.

 

 

 

After 26 years of marriage, 

 

 

 

1 daughter,

 

 

 2 countries,

 

 

 

 1 ocean,

 

 

 

1 house,

 

 

countless trips to Canada,

 

 

several cloudy days,

 

 

 many 'make up' bouquets,

 

winter storms: a few,

but some smooth sailing, too,

 it definitely takes TWO
 

to fill the cracks,

 confirm your choice,

and in one solitary voice,
 

restate, renew, rebuild, rejoice.

To finish this two part series on Valentine's Day, I leave you
 with the song that inspired this post, first recorded by one of my favourite Canadian bands, the Barenaked Ladies. My 
trio's rendition, above, is a dramatic duet, and the last verse, 
(where she threatens warns him), might sound familiar!;-)
