Lifelong

In the beginning I ached for your love

As your words hummed notes of every love song

In sleep or wake you were all I think of

Till my heart did beat this love is life long

 

Young love comfort sought just a loving glance

Where many years before love, wept in grief  

Now you curled sleeping, oh such true romance

Less you hog the blankets from me in sleep

 

To look back at the years Ill not regret

Nor wish my life has been not this same way

For the years of my want will not offset

The gift of years I now have in gold weight

 

As you and I bond our love holds so true

For not one day have I stopped loving you.
