OUR MEMORABLE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

                      5-27-97

        Dearest Partner,
        Sister, Confident, Lover!
        Thanks to you
        For our loving time together,
        This Memorial Day Weekend.
        We grow ever closer
        Day by day,
        Week by week,
        Holiday by Holiday!
        These are our intimate times
        Which we give to one another
        In amazing generosity.
        For by choice
        You chose me
        To embrace;
        To give yourself to me
        Most graciously.
        Oh gracious lover
        Be not far from me.
        Let me feel your closeness
        Constantly
        Let me know the YOU
        That I love,
        Every day,
        As you have
        This weekend -
        When every waking moment
        Was happiness!
