Forever

I wish to grab you close and kiss

Your nose, your eyes. Oh how time will melt

But never take what we have felt

Never steal the sweet bliss

Of holding you close in the pales

Of morning light in a tent

As another adventure is wrote, spent

In laughter and treks across gales

Of wind and waterfalls, secret caves

Nooks, and places we have never seen

But now mark with song and keen

Yips of joy. We slip, hand saves

Us from the clay and stone. And I

Feel more alive than I have before

As onward into the world we explore

Hunting for big dippers in the sky.

Many more days will come

With chores and giggles,

Nudges at the couch and wiggles

As we dance around our home.

Oh these feelings must rest

Somewhere time cannot erase

When we rot in graves and caress

No more but love still our best.

Partner of mine in this world of exploration

As we learn all that may be

Here around you and me.

You hold close all of my adoration.

So come, let us pack another time

Check our list twice only to forget

Something as we chase the sunset

Till fires crackle and you are mine.
