Passion Renewed
by
Mark Mitchell
Over twenty
good years of marriage
Going on twenty one
Kids, vacations, money, it's been great
Our future together is bright as the sun
Through the years our love deepened as we grew
closer
The commitment between us was second to none
Then my life crossed paths with a woman over twenty
years younger
She was only slightly older than my son
My precious wife, she was just like you twenty
years ago
Forgotten memories flooded back of how you and I
had begun
Her youthful passion for life rubbed off on me
I brought it home to you dear wife, it sure was fun
Hey wife, we're well into our forties now
Not ‘acting our age,' pardon the pun
So “what's the lesson to learn here?” I ask myself
If we forget the passion of youth, we're done
To my good wife, it's been twenty great years,
let's do twenty more
Hold my hand tight as we travel life's road
together, let's run
For my young friend, you're very wise beyond your
years
Your life no doubt will be a success, you won't be
outdone
You renewed my passion and zeal for life
My youthful roots I will never again shun
To my wife ‘Special K,' you're everything to me
Our marriage, our life, is way too strong to be
undone
