Poem - Thoughts Upon Two

Today I have decided to show my softer side and share a love poem with you. I am lucky to say that I finally met the woman I was created to spend eternity with, and she has helped make me a stronger, more complete person. She has pushed me to limits that I never imagined possible within myself, and I have become happier and healthier in the two years that we have been together.

I am counting down the days until July 14, when we will be married and begin the next stage of our journey together through life. I think back upon the person I was before she came along, and I am blessed to have the path of my life intertwined with hers.

I can never thank her enough, nor ever express the love I have for her with words. There is no word to describe the magnitude of affection that I possess. She has been the object of many poems over the two years, and will continue to be for the rest of my life.

I dedicate this poem to my future wife, Nicole Tyler Millard:

Thoughts Upon Two

Two people, together two years

Filled with far too many joyous

Memories the two have shared.

The power of two, it’s symmetrical

Applications evident in so many things.

People adorned with a multitude of twos:

Two eyes, two ears, two arms and legs;

Two hands, two feet, two lungs, two hemispheres.

Small wonder the number two is so vital

To measure as a landmark. Two people

In love, born from two parents, stemming

From two chromosomes; a joining of

Two families while two hearts beat

Uncontrollably in the presence of each other.

Shall I love her for too long? If it

Be two days I should consider myself lucky

For the two rotations of the Earth we

Shared. If it be two months I should

Deem them the best spent weeks in recent

Memory. If it be two years I should

Consider myself blessed to have known

The joys found in her presence. If it

Should be for two lifetimes that, too,

Would be such a wonderful life to have

Spent, as two people united by love.
