Our Life As One

Enter the winter of our life as one The months and years have rushed on by Together we’ve endured what life has dealt Our true love’s the reason why We both were sweet 16 when introduced We waved hello across the room Was one year later till we met again Wasn’t long before love bloomed When reminiscing through our life there’s so much that we hold dear Regret is not a word that we would use despite all the tears … Our vows were said when we were just 18 We pledged a love to last the years Such declaration gave us confidence Helped mitigate our fears Our firstborn son came after nineteen months Our second son just eighteen more Now in their forties with wives of their own Ladies whom we so adore When reminiscing through our life there’s so much that we hold dear Regret is not a word that we would use despite all the tears … And so we live to love another day You smile at me and take my hand Assured that as we face life’s obstacles Together we will stand Just for a moment, I go back in time Freshness of youth as memories soar If I were asked to do it all again I would wish to love you more … Mark Toney © 2021
