We Always Knew Poem by Ray Hansell

I kiss your lips warm and tender
To your love I will surrender

I'll hold you close and won't let go
Every minute of the day you'll know

My love for you will never end
Life together we will spend

We'll share the years as they go by
We'll never have to wonder why

Our love lived long and did survive
But to us it was no surprise

We both knew our love ran deep
In our hearts we'll forever keep

A promise we made years ago
To always let our love grow

Love each other likes it our last day
Hateful words we'd never say

Never cheat or run around
A happy home is sacred ground

We lived these rules through the years
Of many smiles and very few tears

Someday we know we'll both be gone
But our love will live in the beyond
