Dear James,

I met you at the steps of the Cathedral

Twenty-five years ago

On the eve of Christmas

The snow pelted my face as I,

Wrote a letter to my family.

Hoping the letter would reach Pennsylvania

Under 24 hours on the 24th.

My fingers were freezing as I

Held the fountain pen.

Halfway into the letter,

Someone took a seat next to me.

On the steps of the Cathedral.

Ignoring it, I continued writing the letter.

That was when I felt, you, place

A thick jacket around me.

I looked at you-lost in your green eyes.

Soon after I posted the letter,

We, met everyday at the steps of the Cathedral.

Today, on our 10th wedding anniversary,

All I can remember, is,

How we exchanged our vows

On the steps of the Cathedral.

I will never stop loving you James.

Neither will I stop loving,

The steps of the Cathedral.

Your lover,

Eleanor Ruby James
