One day in August: For Suz on our 33rd anniversary

One day in August, when you and I were young
The sun rose and never set.
It shines still, and we are still young
On that day that endures,
That one day that embraces all our days,
When I took your hand and you took mine
And we never let go.

We are always newlyweds, and always new parents,
Sleepless and overwhelmed—
Our children all newborns, all toddlers,
All learning to read and to drive.
Every day, every hour we have shared is immortal,
And thirty-three years are as fleeting
As a nuptial kiss.
