Written for RDP, where drkottaway asks us
to get creative with the word “spark”.
Thanks, Doc! Here’s my take.
June 10, 1973, 1st Wedding Anniversary

Just one look, and that was it. I was a goner.
You lit a spark in me like no man ever could.
You made me feel like I was being consumed and I loved it. Still do.
You set my mind reeling and got my body burning.
And what’s amazing about this relationship of ours?
I got to you the same way from the moment we met. I still do.
We have that spark, that magic touch.
And to think it all started on a blind date back in 1968!
Whoever says there’s no such thing as love at first sight has never been there.

I can’t make out what you are holding in your hand, but it looks like the bottom of an ice cream cone.

That’s exactly what it is! There was a little ice cream left and the cone had begun dripping from the bottom onto my fingers.
