My darling

               Forty years of marriage like a breeze passing by
               More charming and graceful my darling I admire
               Telling you so much I love you isn’t it sufficient?
               Like the shine of the sun, my love is more ardent.

               You put on the fresh beauty of the petal of a flower
               To warm up my heart I am happy to inhale its flavor
               Even passing thru the periods of storming & hailing
               At the depth of my soul, this flower’s still blooming.
