A Lifetime Of Commitment
It was a year I will never forget.
It wasn’t much on the National net.
Yet, personally, it was a real high.
It leaves a twinkle in my eye.
It was the year we became one.
You said yes and it was done..
We have been together ever after.
If it wasn’t us, it didn’t matter.
We have had our ups and downs.
Everyone does, I have found.
Yet, the flame still burns bright .
Love carries us through each night.
Overall, one would call it average.
For us, it has been very savage.
By that, I mean we have gotten down.
Really into the love we have found.
I’m her tiger and she’s my pet.
She’s the hottest one I have met.
I would never trade her for another.
I love her like I love my mother.
With a never ending burning love.
Only surpassed by love from above.
We have been blessed in many ways.
But, the greatest of these, I must say.
Is what you have meant to me.
Without you I could never be.
I exist to fulfill all you desire.
So it will be,—– till I retire.
