Not Long Enough

---

Those friends of mine…

Were married on Valentine’s Day…the cutest couple ever…the sweetest couple ever…those two having a valentine anniversary…it fits…

Asked how many years they’ve been married…she looked at him…he looked at her…and with a laugh he said…

Not long enough…

Not long enough…not enough time…to love those we want to love…to love those…we need to love…

Your husband…wife…partner…not long enough…
Children…grandchildren…family and friends…not long enough…
Pets…grandpets…neighborhood kitties…not long enough…
The lost…the weary…the sad…the fearful…not long enough…

There will never be enough time…to love the way we should love…to love…the people who need love…but we can take the time we have…and do the best we can…

So Happy Anniversary…dear friends of mine…54 years together…yours is a beautiful love story…so thankful we found each other but have to be honest…four years of friendship…

Is not…long enough…here’s to many more…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
