Watch the Tempo

circumstance 
led to happenstance
five short years ago
we gave love a chance
to intertwine us 
in this intriguing dance
slowly at first, no missteps
nice and easy, not too complex
the tempo changed to a sultry slide
feelings rose that we couldn't hide
passions grew, bodies complied
six years later, four kids sleeping 
by our sides

What a sweet poem about passion leading to building a family. That's the way it should be, Peter. Enjoyed!
