Double Down (Pragma)

We choose

We double down

Plant our feet

On sacred ground

Twenty—five rings, so far

Reinforce our story arc

We place our faith

In the higher power

Of rain, light and time

Seasons shift

Days unfold

Our minds change

And our bodies grow old

Yet somehow, more than luck

What we want keeps lining up—

It's something of a minor miracle

Of rain, light and time

I love you

And this life we've made

I'm proud of our years

And the ones still taking shape

We choose, we double down

The sun lifts and renews our vows

An evergreen in the soil

Of uncommon grace

All we need is

Rain, light and time

I know i don't say it nearly enough—

The privilege of my life

Is your love
