My Wife

My wife.

She closed her eyes as I kissed her once more
A sweet tender kiss between two lovers and one soul.

My heart fluttered to the touch of her lips,
Two minds tuned together to a song we’ve missed.

A song we wrote together in moonless night
Two people together passionately in love.

That was many years ago too young to realise,
So many obstacles lay ahead in the path of love.

Thirty three years passed like a gleam,
Three beautiful sons became our dream.

Thanks Debra, agin faith and been faithful is very important, to hold into the one you love even when that love changed to become respect and caring more, It's very important to hold into it for the sake of the cherished memories. Love, Ali
