Our road has not been straight, my love.
It has not been an easy journey.
Our path was filled with barriers
And led through lands of many dangers.
Sometimes our shoes grew worn and thin
From trudging through the obstacles
And it would have been much easier
To stumble to our knees and fall.
But one of us was always strong
When the other’s strength diminished
Though there were times we could have quit
We clambered up and moved along.
We now float calmly in still waters
Knowing that our craft is strong
As we at last enjoy the sunsets
And listen to the nightbird’s song.

Sometimes love wears thin, but it never disappears.
