Aniversary

Our Life has been rough, weary and, down-trodden
By this fire our life has been forged

Our Troth has been questioned, mis-trusted, and disbelieved
By this fire our troth has been tempered

Our Faith has been seared, burned and abraded
By this fire our faith is confirmed

Our Love has been tested, torn, battered, and abused.
By this fire our love has been proven

Forged, Tempered, Confirmed and Proven
Time is no enemy to Us

For my beloved after 18 years of Marraige
