Well

We have journeyed together,

             We have journeyed apart.

Five years and more,

            From a laugh it did start.



With your bright blue eyes,

    And treasured Art,

And my boundless energy,

    And lengthening path.



I now know, even though,

    We be troubled at times,

Our love engulfs us,

    With the spirit to shine.



When once I’d stumble,

    Blindly and grope,

I now can stand firm,

    With ability and hope.



And although, not always,

    We see the one as the other,

We shall remain,

    Like the conjugal lovers.



With the love more compassionate,

    Than a drink for a thirst,

But an ear to a heart,

    That will always come first.

I have to admit, this one truly touched my heart. Stanza 3 was the most heartfelt of all: I know now even though We be troubled at times. These are words of someone who has accepted life & the bumps. Well done. Amy
