Our 13 yrs of marriage I feels like its going downhill
Carrying kiddie fights pride and with unwanted sins,
We’d gone for trial and error for us to grow and gain
On that day I was left alone enduring all burdens and vain
Willing to search the world the best drugs for killing pain
Now I found myself inspired writing our story once again….

But of course, I do believe we love each other still,
Surely love is windless, changeless, and need more to fulfill
I had waited for these moments I ever dreamed
Your kindness was comforting sweet cotton cream
Root of gloriness yummy flavor left in my brain
Oh my dear I am about to cry, laugh and scream

And now the time watching us while nurturing our seeds
We’re propagating them and touching by one another’s grace
Protecting from bad weather and from constant change
Giving water, fertilizers, love and then surely world will be amazed
We’re bringing some passions and watches what we had created
For the glory of being the gardeners was really heavenly great

In the future our hardworking days they might never know
They may find out mommy made a funny scariest scarecrow
Scare all naughty tiny and giant birds, believe me, I really do
I saved all my energy and effort to propagate my babies from you
But you won’t understand ’til they can bear flowers and own sweet fruits too
Sun still shines upon this earth and I’m still glad to be with you

I will collect all those beautiful leaves and different new
Catches some butterfly and bugs that didn’t flew
I’ll remind you their special appearance ‘coz they were very few
For they were remembrance of our own feelings in our shoe
I’ll be with you to touch those lovely fragile morning dew
We’re always be together in rain or shine to enjoy the view
