Built a Beautiful Life

Seventeen years, walking side by side,

Built a life, with love as our guide.

From young dreams to a place called home,

Together we found a sun-drenched dawn.

We built a beautiful life, oh, she told me so,

Two hearts intertwined, so much more to know.

Maybe I was starting to see, no, it’s not just a dream,

In her eyes, a love so true, a gentle gleam.

Two years married, in the glow we stayed,

Through storms and calm, love never swayed.

Her words, a beacon in my soul,

Now I wonder, did I miss the whole?

The years whispered secrets I tried to hide,

In her arms, my fears survived.

Now a quiet mountain view, a sunset hue,

Reflects the love I always knew.

We built a beautiful life, oh, she told me so,

Two hearts intertwined, so much more to know.

Maybe I was starting to see, no, it’s not just a dream,

In her eyes, a love so true, a gentle gleam.

Every story has its end, or so they say,

But I’m holding onto yesterday.

In her gentle touch, I find my peace,

Hoping love will never cease.

Seventeen years, and then two in the sun,

Wrote our story, and it’s just begun.
