Love of My Life

I ponder these things transpired in my life Us crossing paths, you becoming my wife Affections so strong etch deep in my soul Encompass my heart you already stole Tough as an oak, you withstand our trials Soft as rose petals, your victory smiles The children, the stress, no getting you down Those full, supple lips show rarely a frown Near thirty-five years since we said our vows Intimate moods you're still able to rouse More than double our age since we first met How you change my life I'll never regret My darling, my bride, so much that you gave A lifetime of love we'll take to the grave
