For You

Our relationship is a treasure
Appreciated one year and more
Bearing legions of untold pleasure
All of your attributes I adore

Your body soft and gently yielding
Against my touch with tension building
Tender lips passionately searching
For love and all the joy ensuing

On this birthday now sixty plus one
Your life’s journey yet still unfurling
The long quest for romance duly won
For I’m here for you my heart giving

Because you’re the man I love so much
It’s hard to imagine life alone
Since trembling under your loving touch
As a couple we have surely grown
