A Deal With The Universe

 
I suppose I never proposed all those years ago
But we have stayed together for so long
I’m not traditional but it’s kind of mystical
That your love and passion made me strong

How many troubles have we been through?
Conversations that lasted late into the night
All the tears we shed with fear and dread
But we tried everyday just to get it right

And we reassured ourselves the love we feel
Is something beyond we could not contain
You became my muse because you sparked
Something inside me that I still can’t explain

We made a home and filled it up with love
With babies and memories and adventures
Through good times and bad we’re still here
I’ll still be loving you when we have dentures

And no matter how close you came to death
I fought the fates to put that path in reverse
I’m not letting you go so you better believe
Because I made a deal with the universe
