Relics of a Past

The night before a
high numbered wedding anniversary
I began taking inventory
not
of rewards along the way
nor
what had contributed to
successes
Rather how much I had grown in
a rare marriage

Four events made my life better
- The realization that she and I had
fallen in love
- Acceptance of the fact that
marriage is life's greatest
challenge
- Our conceiving and bearing
children were opportunities to
improve mankind
- Providing for a wife and children
required well paid
hard work

As did the pharos and kings of old
my dreams and accomplishments are
now locked in a huge
chest
along with other priceless
relics
of a past


F William Broome 2009

I love your poems about your life with your wife. You've had an envious life, Bill. I know you miss her terribly and the way you concluded the poem, the metaphor, is complete perfection. ~ Sara
