Red, Orange, and Yellow (for Jill on our 30th anniversary)

May these colors remind you of the Fall

My favorite season, above them all

And remember, as you always tell me—

It’s death that makes the greatest beauty

 

Think of me and my love for you

And how God can make all things new

Think of what the colorful cycle of life from death tells—

I wouldn’t want to go through a F/fall with anyone else!

 

Our anniversary always falls in the Fall

30 times now through hard falls and all

We’ve celebrated the union that God put together

And a friendship that (without the falls) will go on forever!
