Heat lays heavy,
bodies glisten,
grateful
for the three second breeze.

hearts become heavy with the weather
but a fine spell follows clouds
moods lift lightness in the step
and hearts know joy and laughter

sighs and rain falling
hand in hand
sounds married

Be a little brave enough;
You are stronger than that.

A fresh new day to start.

Sixteen sweet years
Of pink promises kept
"I dos" and tender, gentle vows
Wedding rings of gold
A wedlock between two lovers
Trailing wedding veils of sheer lace
Love within a burning flame
Kept alive throughout the years
Hard times seen through together
Quarrels and misunderstandings
Even tiny little differences of opinions settled
Never interfering with the love you share
Your days of love will never end
You kept your promise ever since that day
When you both held hands and said fervently
And wholeheartedly "I do"
Then two hearts joined and became one
