Walking through the life
Beside a kind loving soul
Holding hands through the rocky roads
The ups and downs the life throws
With an encouraging smile
That lifts us enabling to touch the skies
This is what does, for us
A partner for life
Through the turmoil of life
Renders shoulders to lean on
Never lets us be alone
Turn our tears of sorrows
Into the tears of laughter and joy
Take our frown away
And give us reason to smile
Turning our whole life
Into a beautiful reason
To spend our entire life
With this one
Who very well deserves
To be our partner for life
It’s rare when our life
Gives us any chance
Leave alone a second chance
To say what we feel
To the ones we find close to us
Rooted deep in our hearts
Let them know what they mean to us
Without their love and support
Through the difficult moments
Inside a rocking life boat
No achievement was ever possible
Is the fact of life
We often are unable to express
Never turn around to see
What’s left behind us?
Simply because we take it for granted
There will always be there
Our partner for life
We all go through life
Like puppets of power above the skies
Experience the tears of pain
Mixed with moments of smiles
From dusk till dawn
We are all running
Trying to beat the time
Achieve new heights
For the depth of success
But often forget to mention
The possibility of creating
Such beautiful moments
And then enjoying
The nectar of our fruits
Of struggles, the fumbles and & stumbles
We go through
Are possible because we are not alone
We have someone beside us
To walk every step with us
We find them behind us
From letting us fall through the cracks
If we are the lucky ones
To such a loving person
We need to stop for a moment
To thank them every so often
For being a true partner for life
It’s true we all have our life
And, be thankful for everything
God sends our way
The tears, the smiles
The pains and our gains
But most important of all
We need to thank God
For the one whom he picked
For us to spend our lives
Our partner for life
Who gives us all the love
The tender care
The strong support
With a gentle stroke
Who shares our moments
Create all the memories
To be cherished through
Not just this, but various lives
Because this is the power
Of our life partner
That stays with us for ever.

Beautiful
Beautiful but I fear to long. Hearing as of recently whilewatching poets perform works on dvd. Kids and adults though liking poems and poetry tend to loose interest if too long. i am noticing a shorter attn. span. Mostlikely due to today high tech. high spped everything it semms.
