Life's Great Show

Life's Great Show

Once again the year
Has wound to a close....
Pressed between pages
Like petals of a rose....
The joys we shared
And the life we knew....
Are forever captured
In the hearts of us two....
Each crisis encountered
And each triumph known
Sprung forth hope
From love that was sown....
I watched you grow
From a childhood cocoon....
Into the chrysalis
Of adulthood's bloom....
I witnessed discoveries
Build wisdom's vault....
While learning the dreams
You wished to exault....
I'll treasure our days
Walking side by side....
As the sands of time
Continue their slide....
I give you my love
And your birthright bestow....
To guide you my friend
Through life's great show.
