Dennis and Carolyn

In a time when bell bottoms danced with the breeze,  
Two young hearts collided, as wild as the trees.  
In the glow of the disco, beneath starlit skies,  
They found in each other the spark of their lives.  

With laughter like music, they twirled through the night,  
In the warmth of their youth, everything felt right.  
They whispered sweet secrets, shared dreams on the run,  
Two souls intertwined, like the moon and the sun.  

Through the years they wandered, through seasons of change,  
From the highs of the laughter to the lows that felt strange.  
Yet through every trial, their love only grew,  
Like a fine vintage wine, rich and ever true.  

Now in their seventies, with silvered hair bright,  
They still hold each other, hearts dancing in light.  
With the same spark of passion, they stroll hand in hand,  
Two teenagers in love, in a world they still stand.  

They reminisce softly of the days long ago,  
Of the music, the freedom, the love that would flow.  
Yet the magic they found in those innocent years,  
Has blossomed and flourished, through laughter and tears.  

So here’s to the lovers, who never let go,  
Who weathered the storms, let their true colors show.  
In the twilight of life, they still dream and they play,  
Two hearts forever young, come what may.
