Sharing Fortune

LeGrand took me for the yummy Chinese lunch buffet today.

He ordered me an additional dish
of my favorite walnut shrimp.
On top of the all you can eat buffet.
Just because it's my favorite
and it wasn't part of the buffet.
Now, that's true love.

When it came time to pick a fortune, 

I felt equally drawn to both.

And when we opened and read, I realized why.

They applied universally.

We share.

Fortunes because they apply equally.

Moments because they are ours.

Secrets because we don't want to share them with anyone else.

Intimacies because even being naked isn't close enough.

Thoughts because we honor one another's opinions.

Feelings because we want to be close.

Disappointments because they are easier 

when you have a hand to hold.

Triumphs because we did it together.

Congratulations because we both deserve recognition.

Children because they are our greatest creation.

Love because there's no other word.

Belief because we believe we are a small part of a great plan.

Money because you earn it and hand it over.

Clothes because sometimes your shirt is just more comfortable.

Toilets because we've got stories.

Cars because you let me drive and I change the oil.

Food because two entrees are better than one.

Pets because you bring them home and I feed them.

Parents because yours and mine are ours.

Music because we dance.

Beds because your always warm.

Traditions because we combined our pasts.

and

Futures because they are intertwined.

Sharing is best.

Sharing is fun.

Sharing is growth.

Sharing is double.

Sharing is joy.

Sharing is bliss.

Sharing is necessary.

Sharing is right.

Sharing is our great fortune.

I love you my better half and best friend. 

14 more decades sounds still not long enough.

Happy Anniversary to the man with whom I share everything.
