Five Years!

Aaron and I got married five years ago today. I can hardly believe it's been five years but grateful for each day I've had with Aaron.


Here's a poem to commemorate the event.


Part Three: Love

XXII - Emily Dickinson


I GAVE myself to him,

And took himself for pay.

The solemn contract of a life

Was ratified this way.


The wealth might disappoint,

Myself a poorer prove

Than this great purchaser suspect,

The daily own of Love


Depreciate the vision;

But, till the merchant buy,

Still fable, in the isles of spice,

The subtle cargoes lie.


At least, ’t is mutual risk,—

Some found it mutual gain;

Sweet debt of Life,—each night to owe,

Insolvent, every noon.
