It Beinge Our Sevynthe Anniversarie...

"Thy virgin's girdle now untie,
And in thy nuptial bed, love's altar, lie
A pleasing sacrifice ; now dispossess
Thee of these chains and robes, which were put on
To adorn the day, not thee ; for thou, alone,
Like virtue and truth, art best in nakedness.
This bed is only to virginity
A grave, but to a better state, a cradle.
Till now thou wast but able
To be, what now thou art ; then, that by thee
No more be said, “ I may be,” but, “ I am,”
To-night put on perfection, and a woman's name."This day seven years ago you were my world, my all, my east, my west,
My morning's song, my evening's rest. You are still,
My heart, my dear heart.

I love you.

Thanks, all. Our actual anniversary (Tuesday) was celebrated with my bride in bed with our son and me on the couch! - the fruits of our loins tend to (ahem...) intervene in the connubial bliss at times. But we did have a lovely evening last night: Mojo went to IKEA, I took the kids to the Nickel Arcade, and we got to cuddle in bed when little peeps were asleep...
