Everyday, I see our love
In the pictures on our wall
Sometimes I pass them 20 times,
Without giving them a thought
Occasionally I straighten one
And pause to be impressed
Family, friends and children
And moments we have kept
Behind them is the wall
Strong, bumpy and yes, chipped
Exactly like our life
Without the sound effects
Holding it all together
The nails, no one sees
The talks and the discussions
The never ending work
The work that keeps it working
Seems to go on forever
But it doesn’t seem so long
When we look at them together
