Love Poem: Early Evening

Early Evening

early evening delights

my favorite time of time
is early evening
between 5 pm and 8 pm
every night

cocktail hour
time for a glass of wine
or other cocktail 
with my best friend, my wife

and we sip wine
and make dinner
and talk about the day
and make plans

but most importantly
just enjoy
each other’s company
as we have for 38 years

as the day 
turns into the night
and we prepare 
to end the day

we are both aware
of how much 
we still love each other
ever since the day we met 

and that makes 
all the difference
in the world to us 
I’ll drink to that!
