The Gift of the Third Year

.

The glass delusion is a rare condition.

The afflicted believe

With their whole heart

That they are made of glass

So fragile

That with the slightest touch

Everything will shatter

Love is a rare condition

The affected know

With their whole heart

That without proper care

The fragile

Will succumb to force

Shattered like glass

The gift of the third year is glass.

 

 

Each year I write a poem to commemorate our wedding anniversary using the traditional anniversary gift as the inspiration.
