renegotiated

the gold grows thinner
wears off the finger
the finger shrinks or expands

it is good to wear several rings
over a lifetime

that we found each other, spoke our vow
is not why we’re together now

This is how I feel about my wedding rings, the poem so resonant for me.

Thank you for posting to my blog. I wonder how you found it.

Well, it gets lonely :-) so every once in a while I go to my profile, click on "poetry" as a common interest, and see if I can find anyone interesting.
Thanks for answering!
