Forty years together you have loved, Opening a door to love for me. Romantic hearts bequeath a harmony That proves more rich than any life might prove. Years pour like water rapidly downstream, Yielding harvests gleaned in fields to come, Each waiting for the heart to bring it home, Accumulating in an undreamt dream. Rejoice, then, in a beauty never gone, Sustained by songs more sweet because passed on.
