Place in our hearts

The glow on your face
In places shadowed
By the laughter lines
Etched around your eyes
With the gleam of the fading light
Illuminating in the dusk
You radiate such happiness
When you smile
With your hands clasped in mine
As we sit on the edge of our world
I catch a glimpse
Of the sparkle in your eyes
And when you breathe
I feel a faint warmth
As we breathe in unison
When you move to kiss me
I respond with the fullness of my being
Knowing that this moment
Would be captured
And place securely
In our hearts

And now as I stand here
With you close…
Right here by my heart
I’m remembering the first day
In our place…
How it happened...
How it felt…
When I said yes to spending
The rest of my life with you
Nothing else mattered…
No one else, just you and me

And here we are again
Just you and me
I’m reliving the memories
Of our days spent here…
Our Special Place
The promises made
The secrets shared, made and kept
The tears we cried

That is why I brought you here…

To your final resting place

To be in our place

The place we loved together

Here you will be able to grow with the earth
Always enjoy the setting sun
Witness and experience the wonders of the world

I will be here with you
Whenever I can
To share this…

Place in our Hearts
