What can be said

about love

that has not already been said?

But a love that endures

through hard times

Through the difficult moments

of our journey together

Through lean years

as well as good years

Through conflicts

about childrearing,

ways money is spent

That kind of love is seasoned

With a scent that has a

preservative power

of jasmine, myrrh

or bergamot

That love has withstood

the test of time

That love is

A love that lasts
