Life of Love

With ocean waves of hair and eyes so blue,

a Grecian nose and freckled skin,

I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you

Warmth on skin that we pursue,

no space where I end and you begin.

I hope you'll stay the whole night through

Rosy cheeks from wind that blew

on rooftops, a sounding violin

I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you

With a white dress, our family grew

No need to contain the tears within.

I know you'll stay the whole night through

Flower surprise and a bath you drew,

dishes clean, kids tucked in.

I've never known anyone as beautiful as you

Empty nests, trying something new

grayed, weathered, next of kin.

I've never known anyone as beautiful as you,

I hope you'll stay my whole life through.
