Endless tears in my eyes,
I toss the love beans as I yearn for you;
Filling the gallery,
spring blossoms and willow bloom perpetually.
Sleepless stormy twilights, through the window I stare;
Unforgettable sorrow, the past and the present.
Delightful cuisines, I desire not;
Looking in the mirror, I see my gaunt reflection.
Those frowning brows, feeling the pain of missing you;
In these endless nights, my world stops turning.
Oh! You are on my mind,
as inexorable as the vague distant mounts;
As unstoppable, as the ever-flowing streams.
This is an ancient poem that shows the significance of the red bean and how it relates to love.
Since Mark & I are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary I thought we’d celebrate in the Chinese way. This meant eating red beans in something. The problem was Mark doesn’t like red beans.
But before I could press my point he surprised me with wine, candles, a romantic card, and a brownie! He’s so special and I’m so blessed. Happy anniversary to all the lovers out there!
Happy Anniversary!
very sweet
Well, Mark may not like red beans, but he seems to like red beads! Happy 30th!! I remember the day well. And it’s also Kathi’s mother’s birthday, 79 today.
Happy anniversary Mark and Kathi! Our heavenly Father continues to bless you as a couple!
Happy Anniversary. That was neat. Mark is just as great as he was 30 years ago.Blessings,LaVonne
Awwww…. way to go, Mark! Here’s to the next 30! xoxo Deb 🙂
