memories

the twinkle in his eyes is still there.
the young, youthful look still apparent as happiness quietly pulls back the curtains of his aged mouth to reveal a smile.
his booming voice resonates within me;
someday my children will hear tales of "the great storyteller".
his caring nature exceeds beyond money
mixing love and hope in a bouquet of flowers.
as he gets dressed in his Sunday best,
that is, his naval suit, he is accompanied by a stunning woman,
whose beauty surpasses appearance, pumping life deep inside her heart.
she fixes his tie with purpose and adjusts his cap with a loving touch
helping him look ever more perfect as the minutes go by.
as time goes by, they silently find themselves sitting side by side on the old blue linen couch,
recalling the memories of years past
of that day when they wed,
him in his navy suit and her in a pressed brown suit
each complimenting the rest,
showing love for each other
caring for their children
smiling and laughing as on the day they first met.
so, even though times change and people mature,
their love never dies
a beautiful embrace wrapped in passion.
