Love’s Kindling

For the man I cherish and love

Take my hand and dance with me,
Time flies by, with little time for “we”.
Quietly sit beside me and enjoy
Making memories as ‘he’ and ‘she.’

The night is still, filled with our thoughts
And our dreams as we climb this hill.
Start the fire with twigs of caring,
Forget the troubles we may be sharing.

Feel the warmth of our newfound love,
See the stars as they shimmer above.
Notice the glow the kindness brings,
And when we’re together, how the world sings.

Come dance with me, be with me tonight,
Knowing you are my heart’s sheer delight.
Through calming winds or the harsh weather,
Stay with me, promise to leave never.

When we enter that special place
That’s just you and me in our private space,
It lights the fire of our inner soul,
A relationship that keeps us whole.

Noticing the beauty around us,
With the campfire an added plus,
Living in peace, a chance to discover.
Just two souls dancing together.
