From Start to Finish

Deep in awe and full of desire,
Laying eyes on what looks promising.
First words making anxious thoughts,
A response makes the heart jump.
Days spent within what seems like heaven,
Welcoming another into the heart.
Time goes by as moments are ecstasy,
Perfect bliss is the only existence.
Hands in marriage and baby in basket,
Two families together in both love and blood.
Hands held tight while moving forward,
Onto a chapter that must be explored.
The children's stay at home has come and gone,
Old age comes in waves and heaps.
Worry not as the memories made,
Are truly what the journey is about.
