The Stars Above

The stars above are watching you and me,
as we pursue our work in harmony.
You give to me, and I return to you
a love that always seems to be like new.

While hamper full of dirty laundry calls,
we balance work and play between these walls.
Despite mundane responsibilities,
we make the time to pray upon our knees.

We pay the monthly bills and whack the weeds,
and then go out to plant some pansy seeds.
Leaking faucets need attention, too.
I cherish time together here with you.

This love we have is not a fairy tale.
It's firmly grounded in our shared travail.
The stars above can see the love we share
and join in joyful bliss beyond compare.
