I waited awhile for your smile,
perhaps too long.
It never came until too late.
I shall never know
why you made me wait
until I said, “I’ll
be going now.”
Your face lit up in joyful prose
and told me all I needed to know.

LONG TIME SHORT
Time was
when we
wondered
if we
would be
together
tomorrow.
Now is
when we
wonder
that we
are still
together
today.
fifty-six years
is a long time
and no time
at all.
Not enough time
for those who fall
in love.
