Eternal Flame

The flame is still strong

And the light is burning bright

as it did when you ignited it

On our very first night.

This unbridled passion

Still lives in my soul

and the physical attraction

I’m still unable to control.

Mind-boggling emotions

Still envelope my being

As it gazes upon your enticing form

Our years have not diminished

And our love is still there

The way we stay true

To the honesty we share.

Bestowed this wondrous gift

From the universal unknown

we are rewarded with happiness

in our devotion that’s shown.

So I look at you now

with a little more age in your face

but as beautiful as ever

as you've aged with such grace.

I am blessed to have had you

For so many wonderful years

So full of joy and happiness

It brings me to tears.

I love you even more

Than that very first day

And grateful that through the years

You've decided to stay.

Every day with you is a pleasure

And not one of them is the same

But one thing has been constant

It’s my loves eternal flame.
