The snow, so peaceful and serene,

caressed by the soft moonlight,

gave magical feelings to the night.

The soft blue glow,

the lovers' words that then did flow,

their lips closer and closer

until, locked in the throes

of a passionate embrace,

he decided to express his feelings,

to keep her safe.

He whispered softly,

his words like music to her ears,

"I Love You,"

and her response the same,

heard like the gentle breeze.

"And I, love you, forever."

That was the night they promised

to be together through everything,

each to care for the other when old and gray.

A lovers' pact

the most likely to last.
