We brought our private dreams
to the shared adventure of marriage,
We didn't think;
We had no way of knowing
The strength we d give
And get from one another.
The little things
The songs we ve sung that bind us,
The closeness of a car trip
The lively family dinners
A knowing look
He gives to me
And I to him.
An open heart the chance to grow
Encircled by trust
lightened through laughter
Love deepens.
