Her Tears

She was sitting there
at her computer,
listening to one of our songs
one that touches us still
saying what we cannot
always find the words to say
in words so true for us

Watching her for a moment,
smiling as I hear the words too
Her tears, coursing down her cheeks
amazed, as I am, by the wonder
the magic, the daily miracle of love,

Cascading over us
as strong now,
as the first time
we said those words,
I love you,
praying that years from now
long after the girls are grown
long into our lives together
Love will shine in us
as much as today
