Love sustains us, as we make our way through life. It can be the reason for our being.

 

Partners share hopes and desires. They provide the strength for one another to make dreams come true . . .

 

 

In A Way Only Lovers Could

 

“I love you with all my heart,” she chanted,

her eyes shining from the passion within.

She took my hand and placed it against her cheek—

a closeness born from the mutual admiration we had for one another.

We embraced in a way only lovers could.

 

“You are all I want in life,” I whispered,

my fingers running through her golden hair.

Lips pressed together connecting two souls—

a closeness born from the mutual trust we shared.

We embraced in a way only lovers could.

 

“We love you, Mommy, Daddy,” our children shouted,

the two, a caring girl and boy, danced  in circles.

They brought joy to our home and warmth to our hearts—

a closeness born from our mutual desire to raise a loving family.

We embraced in a way only lovers could.

 

“I love you with all my heart. You are all I want in life,” we each murmured,

our eyes showing the signs of the passing years.

We clutched hands, so we wouldn’t fall as we walked in the garden—

a closeness born from the mutual support we have given each other.

We embraced in a way only lovers could.
