Appraisal

We still watch the same moon
that we searched for in Sunriver
though years have passed.

We still sing the old songs
off key and maybe a little too loud
but together, you and I,
and that is actually a hell of a lot
when you really stop and think about it.

That we still lie together at night
and make each other laugh,
is enough for me.
How many people can say that?

We measure our wealth by our commitment,
not some number in a bank account--
and you have made me rich beyond words.
And worlds.
