Favorite Photos

Some photos retain their magic,

their power to evoke memories

and affections awakened

some time ago.

Robert, I never thought

I would love a man

who wore his hat indoors

or went to bed with his socks on.

This photo reminds me

how quickly I changed my mind

when I met you!

Maybe it was the flowers…

and a thousand other things!

I’ll love you always.

This photo was taken in 2014. The poem was one of the first written for Robert and made into a card.
