Twenty years ago – this very time
What stage you were, I don’t recall –
Cassie was on the way, and, oh,
How the world would change!
How things were I hadn’t known
And now I knew – well, knew much more –
Like how love changes shape and how
It deepens. Not just for a child
But for the woman who brought her out
And how love never ceases to grow
For both. Thank you, my love, for her.
