Anniversary Memories (Memento)

Anniversary Memories

Memories branded in my mind,
we exchanged our rings,
engaged.
Two hearts full of love now entwined.
With God's blessings, days sing
assuaged.

Held tightly in your warm embrace,
sharing dreams through the night,
pure bliss.
Smiling upon your handsome face,
passion shared till dawns light,
loves kiss.
