Silly Goose

Your voice tickles my brain and brings a sparkle to my happy eyes. I honk out 

a laugh as you giggle beside me, infectious 

and mundane. These days are full of 

wonder as we celebrate our lives as one. 

Goofy faces and terrible puns sprinkled in daily conversation

over the dinner table, out on walks,

and before we lay in bed for the night. 

You are my shining source of joy. 

Holding hands is a repeated ritual 

practiced multiple times while 

the sun shifts from east to west. 

Our palms touch, intertwining

fingers, thinking about our partnership. 

Parroting movie quotes to each other —

rotating them as the seasons change.

Our incoherent babbling connects

our tired minds after a long day’s

work, and joins our hearts together. 

Spending time with you is limitless, like our affections for each other. 

My heart enamored with yours, as 

are our minds, dancing around like

school children skipping at the park. 

We grow older and wiser, yet also

younger and sillier with each

passing anniversary reminding 

us of our eternal vows. Everlasting 

devotion is easy when I’m with you. 

Your smile is darling, and my love

you’ve got me grinning wide from

cheek to cheek, creating a wildly 

breathtaking scene of love between 

the two of us. It is obvious how we feel.

We display it in our home, framed on the walls of our painted abode. Enveloping 

our ring fingers so everyone can witness 

the ease with which we laugh day and night. 

We find comfort in our happy routine.
