Chapter 13 - All year long

All year long

My heart leaps every time your voice is heard
An angels tone that always stands out
To hear your laugh always makes me smile
To walk with you and hold your hand
Holding you tight not wanting to let go
I will always hold you close to my heart

The warm sun shining off your hair
Soft green grass beneath our feet
Laughing and splashing at the lake
We hear the crickets shout their call
Late at night we catch fireflies
Then lay down under the stars gaze

In what seems to be an instant
The leaves colors change their hue
All the reds, yellows, and browns
We walk hand and hand down the autumn path
Both thankful for the love that we both share
As we watch the ever setting sun

Soon the snow slowly falls
A blanket covers all in view
The soft voices in the seasons melodies
Makes us want to smile and sing along
Underneath the mistletoe we share an innocent kiss
Then warm by the fire and exchange gifts

As quickly as it came the snow leaves
And in its place are the flowers of new
Life seems to spring out of every corner
I walk with you in the crisp morning
We smell the roses, tulips, and daisies
As I hold you so tightly in my arms

From day to night and light to dark
I will always hold you close to my heart
You mean the world to me
I can act like myself so freely
I can tell you I love you without a sound
As we spend every moment together all year round
