Sometimes, After Years of Marriage...

Sometimes, after years of marriage

We lose sight of who we are

Familiarity unsacred

After we have come so far

Sometimes we forget to treasure

That which we have held for years

And that Thing once full of pleasure

Weighs us down and disappears

Darling, we should guard with kisses

That which nothing can replace

Sometimes apathy dismisses

What a heart should full embrace

Sometimes after years of marriage

We lose sight of its appeal

Darling, we should guard and cherish

That which only death can steal

Sometimes it seems we’ve forgotten

The Commitment of a vow

Or because its cloth seems common

We forget its worth somehow

Darling, in this flight of moments

From the cradle to the grave

We should safeguard with devotion

Each other and what we have
