Love Continues to Grow

On the twenty-first of June
under a hot desert sun
in a chapel of white
embraced by candlelight,  
two kids embarked  
on a journey unknown,
alone in the world
to start a new home.
 
On through the years
the two became four
plus a cat and a dog
to make it some more,
in a cozy white house
at the end of the street
with a wood picket fence,
many friends they did meet.
 
Time has passed
not all like a rose
but hearts have stood strong,
love continues to grow,
for ten and seven years
- past, present, and for life -
it's been a glorious honor
to have you as my wife.
 
To the future I look,
you still by my side,
whatever it takes,
an adventure awaits.
