Romance By the Sea

Cape May holds a special place in our hearts.
On the day after our engagement eve,
We journeyed to old Cape May town,
And celebrated with her by the sea.

Five years after we came once again,
To recapture that time we remember,
To celebrate our four-year anniversary,
Our love and our marriage of November.

Browsing the shops we like to visit,
Stopping to dine, and drink a toast,
To happy years past and wonderful future,
With my beautiful wife in our home on the coast.

We strolled arm in arm the Victorian streets,
That cool, breezy lamp-lit autumn night,
Greeting the colorfully painted ladies,
Decked out in gingerbread, picket fences white.

We made our way to the winding shore path,
And walked along together hand in hand,
Then down to the beach went my love and I,
Full moon romance shining brightly on the sand.

Pausing at the edge of the sea,
With a long embrace, a sweet kiss,
To gaze out over the rolling waves,
We captured a moment of total bliss.

With the lighthouse bright on the horizon-
Though sometimes we travel in sunny weather,
And sometimes the way is dark and stormy,
In love’s light we’ll always travel together.
