Richard E. Snow A Birthday Tribute to my Husband

With you, across the timeline of the years, I remember a world rich with shimmering colors.

I remember a white, sailor cap cocked jauntily on the back of a young sailor's red curly hair, so thick a firefly could get lost in it.

I remember the brilliance of the golden sunlight on the stained glass windows, as I stood beside the man who would be my husband, one September afternoon.

I remember the fire-red-engine floor you laid in our brand new house, and the brown and white puppy you brought home that first Christmas Eve.

I remember the color of dawn that lit-up the granite faces of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln.

I remember the color of laughter, happiness, and love.

I remember you!
