Our forever story

I remember the day when I first saw your smile,

Not knowing your love would stay with me awhile.

Your laugh and your voice washed my worries away;

I tried to pull back, but you made me want to stay.

I’m flawed and imperfect—that much is true,

But one thing was certain: I was falling for you.

From our very first date, on that walk by the lake,

I thought I stole a kiss… but you stole my heart to take.

We faced storms together, fought through every trial,

Held onto each other mile after mile.

Then Isaac arrived, with a heart warm and kind,

A piece of your goodness in his little mind.

We mourned our sweet angel, gone too soon to the skies,

Held tight through the heartache, the tears in our eyes.

But then came sweet Isabelle, brilliant and bright,

With your spark in her smile, your strength in her light.

We stumbled, we struggled, yet still we held on,

And then came our Roman, cheerful from day one

Our silly little butterball, your tiny twin,

A reminder of joy that comes from within.

Thirteen years have passed, full of love, loss, and grace,

And though time may change many things in its pace,

There’s one thing I’d keep, now and forever true:

My heart, my life, my always… will always be you.
