BUTTERFLY KISSES

Butterfly kisses
Smooches and hugs
Walks in the park
That’s how it was.

Holding your hand
Till it got dark
On the way home
When we left the park.

I’d say, “I love you.”
You’d say it, too!
Knew we’d get married
In a year, maybe two.

Two years of school
College and more
We’d kiss good night
While we stood at the door.

Picked out a house
In our hometown
Planned to have children
Our family around.

We had two kids
A cat and a dog
A picket fence
A house made of logs.

Lived near the lake
Where the kids loved to swim
Just like we did
We were once, just like them.

Time flew by fast
The children grew up
They left the nest
Now alone, both of us.

I wouldn’t change
Not one day of my life
So glad we’re together
So glad you’re my wife.
