The History Book of Lovers

In the big history book of lovers, we’ll be on page fifty-seven.
That’s the page where they talk about the couples that weren’t supposed to last,
but defied the odds and overcame the differences.

We’ll also be mentioned on page one hundred and twenty-nine,
the page where they talk about the couples that cared enough to help each other
carry the baggage they each brought along for the ride.

You'll find us on page three hundred and five where they talk about
the couples that remembered their marriage vows in spite of infidelities
and periods of disenchantment.

And we’ll be there on page eight hundred and thirteen,
where they talk about couples who learned and grew from each other,
that started out with little but ended up rich in loving memories.

We’ll also be listed in the index on page thirteen hundred and forty-one
under couples that were stubborn enough to earn
the comfort that comes with a lifetime of love.
