A Commitment, A Once in a lifetime - For Life. Options

[Rhymer]

A Commitment.

Seems a lifetime ago, I said “I do”
after I’d declared my love for you.
A vow sincere that is as true today
as it was upon that cold grey day.

It was a long ago, December day
when we started on our married way.
Serenely in Love, sealed with a ring,
to share whatever life might bring.

Today our way, remains ever clear,
allowing us to accept without fear,
the future. Our passion - never stilled,
allowed our hearts’ desires to be filled,

and though we are no longer young,
we climb life’s ladder, rung by rung,
safe in knowing love will never end,
both for me, and my life-love, friend.

Sometimes we’ll sit, holding hands:
or walk in silence, for each understands
Love’s bonds, stronger every day,
preclude the need for words to say.

When gazing into her soft brown eyes,
therein is seen the girl I met: no surprise
She was the one I loved so long ago,
and since that day, has remained ever so.

Life has been great, I’m without regret,
for never once has there been one met
who can compare with my Jersey Rose:
Perfect in every way, as you’d suppose.

Closing in on 62 years of Wedded Bliss.
