For us

Somehow
It survived

Amongst the
Threadbare furniture
the never ending laundry
the surly tempers
the kitchen work

Between the unpaid bills
And empty bank accounts

Notwithstanding
broken dreams
angry voices
harsh words

……………
Across seven seas and back
Over the naysayers and those
Who laughed at the tears
And broken lives

Over 25 years of togetherness…………..Love survived…………
