Dearest Karen, The years seem to be going faster Accelerating Moving too fast But not too fast for us To enjoy each other. We've learned to enjoy each other In small ways That don't take too much time. Little bits and pieces Strung together Like a beautiful tapistry Or a fine golden chain. The big chunks Of each other that we get from time to time Are the illustrations on that tapistry Charms on that golden chain Links to the sometimes separateness Of our lives. But our love Is never separate; Our lives are never lived For anything but our time together For Our love is always there Our love is always there Love, Doug
