Aging Love

Enthralled I am with such delight,
your hand embraced in mine
a kiss we share by fire light
how devilish and divine.

Embarking on a future set,
the stones all well and laid
a heart with our names finely etched
of every plan we ever made.

Could not this night bring a tear,
as I watched you fall asleep
knowing love is growing here
rich and ever deep.

Today I coined a wishing well,
though our wishes have come true
a heart of stories yet to tell
with memories of us two.

As we age and toil away,
there's no place i'd rather be
wrapped up and here to stay
with your arms embracing me.

This was beautiful Jess. Soft and heart touching. This is how love should be. I loved the wishing well line, dropped in a coin though our wishes have already come true, there are more wishes and dreams to come.
