I tried a different theme and Its not too bad
She laid curled around him
Snuggled in the crook of his arm
He lay awake stroking her softly
Wondering of the years to come
He loved this woman more than life
He could not bear to loose her
She could put him through turmoil
She could put him through pain
They shared their vows
Raised the veil
Kissed the bride
And were wed that day
They spent many happy months together
They travelled Europe
They travelled Asia
They travelled America
And still they remained
They had awesome days
And wild nights
Soon she was expecting
Their first child
She cried out in pain
Her back arched
The nurse told him
It was a boy
He was overwhelmed by love
He hugged his wife
She kissed him back
They shared an embrace
The boy was to be named that day
They named him Tom.
As Tom drew close to four they were expecting again
She cried in pain once more
She arched her back again
The nurse told them that this time
It was a girl
They struggled to name this beauty
And in the end she was Jade.
As Jade grew older her parents fought more and more
When she moved out there was no more love
Her parents burning passion for one another had died
Every night it was a chore
Every day they left for work early
She realised what really happens
As time go forwards
Love goes backwards
Many years later Jade was an Aunty
Tom was an uncle
Their children's' grandparents were cranky bastards
The fought non – stop
Bitching and shrieking
Throwing and flying
This is unavoidable
It is called age
Many would rather die than face this
