Love's True Ways
I remember when all the days were ours
Each tender touch healed all our scars
We gave ourselves to soft moments spent
Along the way, we have found content
And claimed a joy, we never felt
Soothed our pangs where our past has dwelt
Our love confessed in a passion's fire
Led to years that lovers desire
We reaped the beauty of trust and friend
Your guiding hand I now depend
Our days of passion has slowly gone
Replaced with comfort, each rising dawn
Our nights embrace the holding hand
And speak of those we understand
To laugh out loud at a silly tease
And play with love, the things that please
We're older now, yet each kiss is meant
They reaffirm and complement
As years have passed, the hills grow tall
We've climbed them all by Autumn's call
To await the Winter of graying days
We have come to know love's true ways
