Happy fifteenth anniversary!
A long time to be planted side by side!
Praised be those whose love and faith abide.
Praised be those who would deep rooted be.
Years entangle closely planted trees,
From canopy to root together tied,
Interwoven tightly, so that eyed
Full flower, which is which is hard to see.
Two trunks, one greater whole, both root and branch,
Each able to withstand a stronger wind,
Each more intact together than alone.
Nor is this close proximity by chance,
This will to be so intimately combined,
Having each for each shed leaves on stone.
