Service to Forever

Romance bred of passions deep
Largesse to lives grown wise
Visions now beyond the bend
Centered on the prize

Choices once and hasty made
Parents young and bold
Opt to breath a kindred air
Attached with rings of gold

Two to walk a winding world
Never smooth the track
Loves advance to destiny
Unbroken looking back

Grief and pain inclusive
Justice, joy and rest
Sifting false illusions
Blessings for the test

Kingdoms too oft fleeting
In the histories are drown 
Tis bonds made firm eternal
Merit deities true crown

Celebration is the gratitude

Of lesser youth made strong
To two who'll live forever
As the lyric of our song

-Hermit King-
