Today's prompt asked us to think about important celebrations in our lives. My spouse Judy and I have reason to celebrate in each season of the year.
Four Seasons of Celebration
Winter
New Love
Winter
New Love
bloomed and reigned
Amid holiday holly
And we became one
Summer
Commitment
signified and celebrated by gold rings
chosen, presented with words of love

Summer
Commitment
signified and celebrated by gold rings
chosen, presented with words of love
And we became one
Spring
Vows spoken
promises before witnesses
at the Wedding in the Orchard
Where we became one
Spring
Vows spoken
promises before witnesses
at the Wedding in the Orchard
Where we became one
‘Til annulled by the state
Fall
Election Day looming
Prop 8 threatening against love’s
bond
Our re-wedding in October beat the
vote
And we became one
Forever, this time
