My Fortune

Life has been a ride
In times like a roller coaster
Rushing up at us
A climb…
Then a plummet into depths unknown
 
But there has been one constant
One unchangeable thing
The constancy of our love for
Each other and our family
Constant...strong
 
Darkest despair has been a companion
Over many a day
Rainbows have come with promises kept
Joy has been shared in new life
Sorrow in passing
 
What I do know
Is that I would not trade
My life with you
For wealth, or fame,
Or fortune.
 
My fortune is you.
