So, the last couple weeks have been pretty difficult. I didn't even make a post about our 9th anniversary on the 5th! Last night I was looking through some things and I found a little book I had made for Ken a few years ago. We had some inside joke about haikus, so I wrote him a little book of haikus. To refresh your memory from 7th grade English ;), a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry made up of 3 un-rhymed lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables. They are usually about nature or a particular season, so these are not real haikus, but...it was for fun, so...you know! I really enjoy writing and some of them turned out pretty well. So, like I said they are a few years old, but I thought I'd share some of the better ones with you. Ken, you are the best! Thanks for loving me!you gave me the wings
i only thought i had when
i was by your side
today is but a
meomory of tomorrow
yet, yesterday's hope
movies and popcorn
games, as long as i win
just to be with you
music is the love
that brings the joy of living
to those who hear it
you paint the colors
on the canvas of my heart
the portrait of love
(my personal favorite)
