Anniversary

Anniversary

Ten years, a decade.

3,652 days, 520 weeks or

87,600 hours that

We’ve shared together.


To the mayfly, it’s 

An endless eternity.

Yet the mere blink

Of mother nature’s eye.


“How long” should 

Never be the question. 

Instead it should be:

What have you done with it?


520, the number of times

We’ve danced along

The beach; the sea 

Washing our cares away.


39,000 would be the 

Number of lunch dates

On the phone, with food

And great conversation.


3,650 I love yous. 

One each day. Thought 

I’d tell you that it’s 

exponentially more.

About Bob W Christian

Bob W Christian has been writing poetry for more than 20 years. He started as a way to help to process his thoughts and emotions as an autistic man, and to address the impact of CPTSD. As he wrote, and slowly gained the confidence to share his poems, he was given incredibly positive feedback, which spurred him to write more. During that time, he has written six books, and had numerous guest publications in books and magazines around the world. His work has earned several accolades recently, including recognition in the Dark Poet’s Club 2025 competition. Alongside poetry, Bob enjoys photographing nature and birds, and is often praised for his keen eye behind the lens. A husband, father and grandfather, he regularly shares his observations, reflections and creative work through his personal blog, The Ramblings of Bob Christian.
