Twelve years have long past
Since the vows that we swore;
My lot with you was cast,
With the woman I adore.
Twelve years have long past,
Two children you have bore;
These years are going fast,
Exhausted, busy and sore.
Twelve years have long past,
But I long for still more.
I hope your love will last
For twelve long years more.
Twelve years have long past,
My hair growths thin and I snore,
My youth and I stand in contrast,
In twelve long years I’ll be an eyesore.
Twelve years have long past,
Your beauty radiates as before;
Your character still kind and steadfast,
Filled with whit and candor.
Twelve years have long past
And for twelve years more,
I vow my love holdfast
Unwavering as we originally swore.
