Every afternoon, we stop everything by four
\nShe to construct for herself
\na small plate of snippets
\nof various cheeses and crackers
\n\u2014 Oka, smoked gouda, brie
\non stoned wheat thins \u2014 and pat\u00e9
\nand with a large glass of cool beer
\nShe sits;
\nI bring my goblet of red wine
\nor tumbler of scotch or demerara rum
\nneat for sipping
\nI sit;
\nAnd we relax and discuss the day or
\nthe week or year or lifetime
\nIt is a time of bonding and enjoying our
\nalmost fifty years together, most of those
\nmarried to each other.
\nWhat makes this time of day work?
\nForgiveness \u2014 of course that
\ncan make any relationship work
\nbut only if it is accepted and reciprocated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
