That wintery day,

Our first Christmas

Together.

Watching you

As the fireplace glowed.

A small velvet box

Under our tree.

Your smile brightens the room.

Opening.

As your eyes widen,

For inside you read

My first poem to you.

The day you came into my life

Conquering my soul

As you won my love.

With just one short sentence

You are my whole.

You laid my heart asunder.

Life turned good.

Spring through Fall,

Two lovers

Making their way

Together

Against the world.
