Love Is...

1st date:

My hair is lying perfectly
It's curled to look nice
My make-up is daring
And my dress overpriced

He shows exactly on time
His car sparkling under the moon
The air is simply perfect
It's a warm night in June

1st kiss:

Your teeth are pearly white
And your breath fresher than mint
You touch up your lipstick
Your lips become a nice red tint

It's a crisp clear night
And the moon is high
Your mouths place perfectly
And you blush and say goodbye

1st year of marriage:

He carries you in the door
You giggle like a child
Your know what's in store
And smile at your thoughts so wild

You wake up beside him
So happy and refreshed
You are so in love
Your bodies still enmeshed

1st child:

The pain all behind you
You look at the small creation
Then tenderly he kisses you
As you gaze at perfection

You wonder how you made this
The angel so amazing
You look forward to the years ahead
Of this child together raising

10 years later:

Two days without showering
Your legs gone unshaved
Your clothes ten times too big
As work piles you're enslaved

A baby on your hip
And dishes on the sink
You look around yourself
Looking for the phone that rings

But as you sigh heavily
In great stress
On your forehead carefully
He places a soft sweet kiss

And through all the trials
That have passed in the years
He stays by your side
To wipe away the tears

And even though life
Is far from being flawless
He smiles at you in admiration
As though you are nonetheless

So this is what love is
When you stay by their side
When times are tough
And on them you rely
