So we’ve been close together
For a number of days
Expressing our care
In a number of ways
I make sure that we eat well
He makes sure that we surf
We get our feet daily
In the sand and the turf
We make sure to hug lots
We’re drinking lots too
In truth, we are still finding lots
Of fun things to do
I’m proud of the kindness
In the closeness were in
I’m proud that we still think
Each other’s cute as sin
We’re not passing comment
On the same clothes we wear daily
Or the small ways in which
We drive each other crazy
We’ve only snapped once or twice
And we’ve learnt to give warning
For sure, coffee helps
Especially first thing in the morning
But mostly I’m proud
Of the way that we laugh
Gut-hurting, cheek-aching
Not a laugh done by half
Last night before bed
I had tears in my eyes
Laughing so hard I was
Clutching my sides
It happens almost daily
A competitive sport
Who can make who laugh first?
Who can garner a snort?
It’s the best thing, I think
To have someone whose funny
And who thinks you are funny
Even when things aren’t sunny
A laugh a morning, at the moment
Is the minimum count
Then a chortle in the afternoon
To top up the amount
A night time giggle
Then a side splitting guffaw
I’m now sure as days pass
This is what real love is for
I’m proud of our laughter
It helps us through the tears
Let’s laugh our way
Through the next hundred years
