Easy
Gentleness and thoughtfulness and
kisses that I covet,
These are things that come to mind
defining my Beloved.
Reaching out to take my hand through
years and years of marriage,
This a friendship forged so strong that
no one can disparage.
Rage and storm and fire and ice have
all been sent to try it,
Our hearts are bound by love so strong
e'en Death cannot deny it.
