Inspired by a couple married 75 years.

We met on the eve of
A new moon,
Do you remember?
We were
Youngsters still,
Yet
We felt the spark
That fueled
Our young romance
And led us to Love
So we eventually met
Before God
And pledged ourselves
Forever after.
It was the same spark
That brought us laughter
And that buoyed us
Through sorrows,
It brought us a family,
It made for us
A home.
And now it brings us
Here, where we are
In the twilight
Of our lives
With gray hair and lines
And decrepit old bones,
Where still,
Despite it all,
Our spark lives
With flickers and flames,
Still fueling our romance,
Ever warm,
Ever loving,
Ever after.
