Lest I forget

Sitting beside you my love while the hearth is aglow,
Sends my mind reeling of memories
That dance on happy teardrops.
The ideas we shared, the joys we reaped
The sorrows that came our way-----
All reflect the vows we made on that very special day.
Years have lapsed as pictures unfold;
The mantle alive with smiles of the
Past, echoing words of spoken; send
Laughter ringing throughout my heart.
Lest I forget those fireside chats,
While sitting beside you, my love.
