3-or-4-Ever-More (for 34)

for the Grace

that embraces misgivings

(and even snore-givings)

with endless Forgivings

needed for Living(s)

with endless Thanksgivings

that engages Breathing

when we're seething

and understandably needing 

space for grieving 

and unspoken soothing

that enacts Sharing

and compassionate Caring

when circumstances call

more for swearing

and fearful tearing

apart our bearings

that empowers Forbearing

of each other

when we're weathering

the bumpy lumps

(a few more

than 3 or 4)

that rise up

on the road

of Life together

with the Love

that helps us

keep our bearings

in our unique

and inimitable pairing

and meets us

when we're despairing

with the Light

that softly saturates

the daunting darkness

and gently scatters

our fragile fears

and the Laughter

that not only

rattles the rafters

but also shatters

the solidified hearts

so easily hardened

by the knocks

of painful strife

on this sordid

and Sacred Sod

with playful pokes

that remind us

of our parts

in the craziest 

and Holiest 

of Jokes

like the pitchers

and the catchers

blundering their signs

wondering who's on

first and what

is the score

and the batters

who need just

one good pitch

one good swing

to bring Everyone

safely back Home

and Redeem Everything

like the 3-Personed God

4-Ever and Evermore

the uproarious 

and glorious

Gift that Shines

in the Face

of the One

whom i awake

to each Morn

and Graces each

Day and Space

with Puma Pride

by my side...

Thank You.

(to dear Kir, for 34 years of facing our fears and embracing our tears with Love and Laughter...love, bri)
