A poem...

Calla Lily
for Daniel on our anniversary

Unfurl your cloak of silken white
Reveal your secret wand upraised at length
And not unlike a star you shine serene
To exalt the autumn-tide with silver cups.
Shall we drink sweet nectar as we praise
The simple beauty revealed now in truth?
Or shall we simply sit and idly gaze
Into the eyes of love I have for you?
Calla lily soft and silken white
With open heart I pledge my love this night.

How very lovely that your family gives you such nachas (Yiddish: Joy).
I'm a bit un-moored right now and your delicate celebration of your love gives me hope.
