Darling, don’t fear change

Embrace new adventures

Without it life is mundane

Full of mediocre, stale endeavors

Let’s leap, plunge, and explore the wild

We have shared so many years

As husband and wife

Made a family and home

Come to this time, in life

Let’s fly, soar, to new heights, aloft

Grow brave with me

Without fear or trepidation

Break the stagnancy in our routines

Spice up our lives without hesitation

Not for others, just for me and you

Day in and day out

Schedules don’t shift

Not surprises comes our way

A boat lacking wind and set adrift

Let’s pull up anchor, sail the sea’s depths

Make the tiresome, refreshed

Step outside easy tranquility

In complete safety and trust

Not hesitant but wholeheartedly

Let’s taste, savor new flavors, hungry

Grow bold with me

Without fear or trepidation

Break the stagnancy in our routines

Spice up our lives without hesitation

Not for others, just for me and you

What’s gain without risk

Success without first failure

Appreciation of joy without grieving

Boredom, lackluster, mindless labor

Let’s search, discover unknown treasures

When we are then exhausted

Energy, vigor, curiosity sated

The past invigorating us, in old age

Recollections bright and fresh, not faded

Let’s add, create, rewrite another chapter

Grow older not old with me

With enthusiasm and excitement

Creating spontaneity, not routines

Zest for our lives, without limitation

Let our story keep going, grow with me
