Teamwork
We are in this together
You and I
Decision made long ago
To face life’s challenges as one
Little did we know
What we were signing up for
In a moment
Of bliss and happiness
We thought
We could conquer
The world
We believed
That no matter
What life threw our way
Together
We could handle it
We have
Our share of trials
Test of the bond
Between us
Days
At each other’s throat
Have to dig deep
To find
What brought us
Together
In the first place
Life has been generous
We have
Moments
Of wonder and joy
Proud moments
Our own
Our family’s
We have learned
To cope
With anxious
And sad moments
Crazy left curves
Out of the blue
Least expected moments
Compromise
Balance
Moderation
Advice given
And taken
Our life isn’t perfect
But we have
More good days
Than bad
And you
Are the person
I want by my side
When those bad moments
Strike
