An ageless love is rare as jewel
To, after years, be ardent fool
When glances pass between you still
There’s no conditions, no “up till”
No matter sickness, or in health
In tougher times, or ample wealth
The only place that you’ll be found
Is by their side, forever bound
And even though there’s ails that lurk
A failing back or knees don’t work
A clock has set, it’s running down
You live in hope more time is found
Whatever hand you both are dealt
It cannot dim affection felt
Between two people meant to be
Whose love song often sung off key
Will stir within sought-after chance
To move two feet that cannot dance
Be swept in arms and ferried where
Confinements they no longer bear
That barrier, they broke right through it
And honoured to be witness to it
Alongside I, their torch I carry
Their everyday, extraordinary
