Anniversary Vows

by Jeff Ewing
(Texas)

To see you each day
through eyes of love
To bite my tongue
when enough is enough

To touch your skin
as I walk by
A pinch to the rump
may even apply

To smell the roses
and count the stars
Though our love
dwarves both by far

To make each night
a woman’s dream
To hold you close
in a lover’s scene

To kiss your lips
for each come and each go
To make you smile
through each to and each fro’

To be the rock
when things go awry
To be the answer
when there’s so many why’s

To be a pillow
when we say goodnight
To live, laugh and love
with all my might

These things I vow
each year from my heart
For without you, my love
tomorrow could never start
