L & J - Two Years On

Another year passed, that makes two
The second year where, it has been you and you
Together you are and together you'll be
Together you struggle and together you're free

Many more things have happened this year
Much joy, much laughter mixed in with some fear
Though where would you be if all was plain sailing
And you didn't now and then hold on tight to the railing

To guide you along in this marriage
Over cobbles with horse and with carriage
To heaven and back, with that heavy sack ?
You could've just left in the garage

You soldier on and, both triumphant you are
With adventures afoot, some near and some far
From Cornwall to the pavements of Venice

Both outside and in, when your worlds they do spin
You hear that voice loud as it's clear
When you dance away, just to dance back here
Isn't it better when you hold yourselves dear
In each other arms, cheeks touching, so near
A deep rooted love wipes away every tear

It's not easy of course, but you both can endorse
The love that you know you have found
And if you keep on, keeping on
You feel it, a pulse, so profound

Though my dear friends, navigating the bends
Is less appealing than cruising the straight bits
When life's punch lays you down and you feel you must frown
Notice the sun in the sky from the dips

So you come to the end of this year where
If you stand up straight and you spare
A thought for each other
From lover to lover
Hand in hand, another year as a pair
