We dated by phone
The year I studied in Idaho
And got engaged by phone
Fifteen years ago today.
I was taking two full-loads that year,
And I checked the time compulsively.
Whenever the numbers were all the same,
Like 1:11 or 2:22 or 3:33 or 4:44 or 5:55
(One afternoon I caught them all),
I would pray for Phil, a thanksgiving.
I don’t check the time as often these days,
But to the list of sames, I have added
Our anniversary, 6:24,
And a few times a month yet
God is thanked for Phil.
I don’t do everything right as a wife,
But I like that I do this.
