I’m bound to you forever by the rust specs in your eyes,

Hazel speckled by rust and wrapped in blue of dark skies,

Each night as you sleep I am lost in your beauty I can’t deny,

A teardrop of love often falls from my eye as I try not to cry,

Tears of joyful celebration that we have been married so long,

If only I had skills of a musician I would write a beautiful song,

A gift of love must be sincere when it comes from man of rust,

I’ve looked deep inside my mind but somehow I find only dust,

My worth alone is of little value for without you near I am void,

Time now moves so rapidly as if the hands have been destroyed,

Acceleration of time takes place each time you are in my hold,

Absent your touch each minute is an eternity while I grow old,

Stardust fell from the sky to form a pathway just for you,

We know it as the Milky Way displayed for everyone to view,

As particles of stardust fall to earth the fairies gather around,

From diamond dust to desert dust it is finest fairy dust found,

Perhaps the mystery of your youth is what dust fell on you,

As I’ve fallen to decay and rust your beauty is exciting to view,

When I am ill the burden of love is shown in your beautiful eyes,

A dust of fortune must have fallen on me as I studied the skies,

If love is a burning ember then I’m ablaze with love for you,

Fate stood before me at loves door enticing me to go through,

I’m not a fool you know, as I cherish each moment of my life,

I love you Patti, I’m so thankful you chose to be my wife.

The end, by Pat for Patti
