Your Poetry Dot Com - Full Circle

At first we were young lovers who only had to share;
Our bodies and our worldy goods, our hopes and our Corvair.

Magically our twoness blossomed into four;
Sleepless nights and tiny lives wondering what’s in store.

Sprinkle in a mortgage, and add a station wagon;
Scouting; braces, school plays and a costume for a dragon!

Charge accounts; and pillow fights; a gerbil and two dogs;
PTA and ballet lessons; neighbors and in-laws!

From a simple bonding born of admiration;
We became as complex as a world class corporation!

Life insurance; profit margins; school tuition plans;
Driving lessons; graduation; both have wedding plans!

I wondered walking down the aisle to give them to another;
Why my wife was crying, like every new bride’s mother;

Does she cry for knowing what our daughter’s headed to?
Or are her tears because she knows

it's just, once more, we two?
