It’s Only Grown

(for Mom's and Dad’s anniversary) 
Bethany Blair 4/7/09

Journeying through the years 

The love you hold inside 

Along with every age old fear 

All collecting in your eyes 


Easy laughter and contented hearts 

Rough times filled with strife 

Come connected to do their parts 

In this wondrous thing called life 


Through each explanation after 

Every argument 

Love’s only grown in him and her 

Neither of your wills have bent 


And though you many express your love 

In varying and different ways 

You calling him Pirate, to him you’re Dove 

The feeling remains strong and 

  always will stay 


( Happy anniversary 

love and joy to each 

I couldn’t live without you 

And that is the end of my speech. )
