Love's True Ways

I remember when all the days were ours Each tender touch healed all our scars We gave ourselves to soft moments spent Along the way, we have found content And claimed a joy, we never felt Soothed our pangs where our past has dwelt Our love confessed in a passion's fire Led to years that lovers desire We reaped the beauty of trust and friend Your guiding hand I now depend Our days of passion has slowly gone Replaced with comfort, each rising dawn Our nights embrace the holding hand And speak of those we understand To laugh out loud at a silly tease And play with love, the things that please We're older now, yet each kiss is meant They reaffirm and complement As years have passed, the hills grow tall We've climbed them all by Autumn's call To await the Winter of graying days We have come to know love's true ways 11/27/17 contest Any couplet written in Oct, Nov, 2017
