Recipe for Ten Years

For ten years of marriage,
Days not always happy,
But always together,
Take me, take you,
A world built together.

Mix in a love of books,
Sci fi and music,
Pet names, shared jokes,
Laughing so hard I cry,
As you tickle me relentlessly.

Add those quiet moments
Sharing silence, never alone,
With cold winter mornings
Before an open fire,
And cooking together in own kitchen.

Ten years goes so fast,
Hold it close, precious,
Heat it gently, stir in
A little adventure,
Northern Lights and helicopter trips.

Serve up to two so close,
Holding hands every day,
Slow, lazy mornings
With slow, lazy kisses,
Which never get old.
