For a quarter century as my wife
I have walked around the chambers
of your sweet heart.
It is the safest place I know
full of memories of us.
Here is your first glance
So fateful was that a smile?
I never remembered that before.
Just the promise
and invitation it held.

In your arms
I live in my safe place.
The home that fate saved for me.
You hold the only key
I do not need one since
I will never leave this place.
I feel your arms
around me so safe
Never ever let go of me.

My heart is open
its locks undone.
It beckons you inside it
To live in my sunshine
To feel every beat
as my blood flows.
Reassuring safe and loved

Let us live
inside each others hearts forever
In our safe places.
