Me and you

A poem about marriage

12 lines. Prompt: My love. Rhymed Poetry

Anniversaries number fifty-five,
Can you believe we are still alive?
Still walking hand in hand and
Living in this wide brown land.

Like two leaves upon a tree
No longer green and supple,
we cling together until one day
we’ll no longer be a couple.

One leaf will curl and lose it’s grasp
upon the branch of life.
Until that time I’ll hold on tight and
be your loving wife.
