My Love

We met by a fire

with many roads to take

we joined hands and chose one

to see what we'd make

days turned to months

and months into years

we shared joy and laughter

sadness and tears

when life made me doubt

she'd grab my hand

fear not my life partner

go make your stand

and stand strong I would

with her by my side

through all of life's torments

its hardships and lies

but time takes it toll

it stresses the mind

it leads you to wonder

what else you might find

did I make right decisions?

was this really the best?

did I miss out on something

fail some great test?

when life makes me ponder

questions like these

I just take her hand

and give it a squeeze

the girl by the fire

I met long ago

she made me a good man

in my heart and my soul

so let time come test us

with all of its might

I will stand strong for you, love

'till I lose my life's light

Beautifully written in meter, rhyme and thought..Doubts so many hold yet holding strong to a promise is so admirable.

Lovely, heart felt and meaningful. The way you rhymed, it made it sound like the words belonged there. That makes the meaning behind the words more powerful and meant to be. Nice Job.
