Six Times Five

A seed was planted long ago,
It sprouted roots, began to grow
Blossoms and fruit on the tree
Count the rings—ten times three


Once a blank page, now a book
Stories of the roads we took
Memories etched in love with a pen
Read the chapters three times ten


See a constellation in the sky
Fifteen stars of Pegasus so bright
Fly around them twice you will see
Just how far we've come, you and me


Looking back, summer ‘94
Holding breath, stepping through the door.
Ten thousand days, love still thrives,
Years together—six times five.
