Carefully fitting the boxes into our car
Wedged tightly leaving no empty spaces
Firmly in place so nothing will shift
This is a pleasant packing puzzle for me
Leaving a clear view out the back window
When everything is loaded ready to go
Gives me a sense of satisfaction each time
Ready to drive all day for two days
On our seventh anniversary today
We are well practiced at this annual move
Each with our chosen tasks to complete
Calmly working together getting it done
You are the organizer with your checklists
Making sure what we need gets packed
The kitchen items and bathroom supplies
You take on the bulk of the packing
Taking care to fill each box full
Keeping the weight manageable for me
Leaving me to do the office and electronics
And of course we each pack our own clothes
What a way to celebrate our marriage
As if tomorrow we depart on another honeymoon
Except for us the feeling never ends
Being happily in love with each other
