[Thespiritexpress] Poem read at Mastery

[Riantee Rand]

I am so glad that we share that secret Lee, laughter, the glue that seals love.
I am often asked how can we still enjoy each other after 60 years of marriage. And I can only answer, we are very silly, we laugh, we don’t take ourselves seriously, we play, we use weird names, we have fun. 
Paloma, we should have those little glimpses be big glimpses.
Much love
Riantee
