You and me,
Passed thirty years and three,
Through Spring and Winter, rain and shine,
Enjoyed our life, barely with a hint of a whine.
You and me,
Like birds on a tree,
Built our nest, with endless zest,
Hardly caring about taking some rest.
You and me,
Went on a spree,
To adorn our sweet little hut,
Not much knowing, what was what!
You and me,
Started a family,
Before realizing what could be,
The meaning of life, entwined, not free!
You and me,
While sipping tea,
Made our plans, like a bumblebee,
To gather pollen for 'our youngs to be'.
You and me,
Passed days windy,
Have weathered many storms,
That came in many forms.
You and me,
Both heartily agree,
That we have lived our eventful life,
Singing a chorus, without much strife.
