Love is all there is to it

Eyes of fine slices,
Chime with long strung up diamonds.
As the last breathe arrives,
You've a tight grasp of my hand.

Faithul without being obliged to,
Leaving all we had behind us.
60 years a happy marriage,
Children healthy, neighbours dead.

A wedding ring glinting from the bedside lamp;
Death bed where for decades we slept.
Taking all life has to throw at us,
Not from the day we eloped, but from the day we first met.

Vowels meaning so much, still strong when we'd fight.
Till death do us part, till my heart it gave out.
Now you're here beside me, never left me,
Even when I started to forget who you were

Time,
Strength.
Those things don't mean anything.
I know what you did was for love.

Thank you for a wonderful life
