Once In a Lifetime

You hold my hand tightly
Then kiss me on the cheek
With butterflies around us,
And sunlight takes a peek

Through the trees, we walk
Nature listens as we talk
The birds all sing along
It is where we belong

Free to celebrate
Our gratitude of fate
Our love takes us through
The gate that opens too

Into the garden beyond
Our everlasting bond
Blooming with flowers
Shining in the showers

Touching us in a dance
Our once in a lifetime chance
