Happiness accumulates through time,
As you may gather from a backward glance,
Perhaps upon a day planned in advance,
Providing a grand vista by design.
Years from such a vantage point combine,
Forming one vast field of circumstance
In which a couple can be seen to dance,
Finding grace they'll over years refine.
There is much pleasure, then, in looking back,
Yielding to the honors of the day,
Sharing in the silence of the heart,
Each to each, the beauty you have wrought.
Coming through the press of life intact,
Old enough to say love's had its say,
Now both content as whole and each as part,
Dream to flesh, you have what you once sought.
