The Steadfast Love in My Life

So many poems have been written
About that partner in life we choose
That lifelong hero who has your back
With whom each night you snooze
So here I go, another attempt
to sing the praises and sometimes the blues
Of my dear and steadfast partner
Should I fail in this quest,
please excuse!
When early on in partner bliss
All goosebumps and limerence galore
With hugs and kisses in ample amounts
Then perhaps a roll on the floor!
Then passion comes in a moderate dose
As years traverse our lives
And friendship grows while trust grows too
Together we both survive
Through joys and pain
Through sickness and good health
Together we challenge them all
Sometime with massive success indeed
Sometimes a tumultuous fall
Love deepens, transforms, like a caterpillar
Morphing into a butterfly
It burns much deeper and brighter
It can sometimes make you cry
For life brings joy and heartache
Sometimes it rains and rains
But there’s always hope for tomorrow
When your love in life remains
Together we’ve seen the ups and downs
Sometimes it’s been a very slow crawl
Together we’ll conquer whatever comes
As they say love conquers them all
Now living life together
In the Winter of our years
Still occasional sorrow
Still occasional tears
Together we shall always be
Sharing small pleasures and daily delights
A morning coffee with home baked muffins
Still sharing these simple sights
Each shared event more joyous
Each shared delight more immense
For each shared daily pleasure
With love is more intense
There remains many more pleasures to come
I well expect there’ll be more strife
But always shared with my steadfast partner
The forever love in my life
About this poem
A thank you to my life partner.
