Beside the Fire

Beside the fire we reminisce
Of our first date and our first kiss
Which ultimately led to this
Epitome of wedded bliss.

Beside the fire we thank the Lord
Our prayers for love were not ignored.
We go to bed each night assured
We have received life's best reward.

Beside the fire we entertain
Indulgences we must restrain
'Til we're alone. Then passions reign
And fierce desires we can unchain.

Beside the fire, as man and wife
We count the blessings of our life.
So many gifts, such little strife.
With Heaven's Grace the world is rife.
