Over thirty years ago I married my best friend. At his side I learned of the goodness of life. From his eyes I learned of love. His hands reach out to me when I am lost. His arms give me strength when I am weak. |

Let me not to the marriage of true minds |
|
|
Admit impediments. Love is not love |
|
|
Which alters when it alteration finds, |
|
|
Or bends with the remover to remove: |
|
|
Oh no; it is an ever-fixed mark, |
|
|
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken; |
|
|
It is the star to every wandering bark, |
|
|
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken, |
|
|
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks |
|
|
Within his bending sickle's compass come; |
|
|
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, |
|
|
But bears it out even to the edge of doom. |
|
|
If this be error, and upon me prov'd, |
|
|
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd. |
