While in our youth, the passion stayed afire
No hour could pass without an "I love you"
A brushing touch could strengthen our desire
And just a glance was all it took--we knew

As years went by our busy lives were blessed
With many children, all our love now shared
Another hectic day; we need our rest
A kiss good night with tenderness declared

We lie before the fire; and embers glow
Contentment now, we've raised the darlings well
Undying love between us--we still know
Devotion and companionship does dwell

The flame was lit the moment we caught eyes
And burning still; our constant life's reprise
