Survivors

Survivors we two, when much succumbed 
  To marching time and changing years, 
When onslaughts came and skies rained death 
  And shrapnel fell like metal tears. 

Survivors we two, we fuelled the faith 
  Of sweetest union, vows adhered, 
When roses withered in the dust, 
  And passing phases disappeared. 

Survivors we two, we anchored close, 
  The children of a love supreme, 
Tight and knitted, holding fast, 
  Dreamers in a priceless dream. 

Survivors we two, just you and I, 
  Resilient to the stones and slings, 
And will remain survivors still 
  No matter what the future brings.
