10 Valentines

Love stole quietly
Into the toil of our creations
Forging eternal bonds
That vows cemented
And homes sheltered
Then children came
through joy and pain
New worries stole our sleep
Occupied our thoughts
New joys too
Filled our hearts
Occupied our thoughts
At times our world shook
We clung together
Hearts knitting tighter
Through far off places
And profound griefs
Ever closer
Ever brighter
Our love, increased
