The Ruby Flame

Your ruby flame

reminds us all

that if you are lucky enough

to find the right person,

and if you are able 

to fight together against the rain...

And if you keep walking 

in the same direction all the way...

The flame can still be burning

like the first day.

It is impossible 

Not to admire 

Your red fire.

The way you look at each other

With sparkling eyes.

The way you walk 

always holding hands.

The way you protect each other 

from a fall, 

knowing that 

we are made of fragile glass.

It is so impossible 

not to admire

your red fire.

All the things you have achieved together,

Like building such a nice home, 

a real one full of laughs and love.

Like bringing up two boys

Who, thanks to you,

now are conquering

other worlds...

All the winds storms

You must have stood together,

As sometimes life deals us blows 

And even casts us big stones.

All the mountains' top

You must have reached together

and after making the effort,

the incredible views...

It is so impossible 

not to admire

your red fire.

So it really can last 

40 years, after all.

You, two halves,

 have completed the other so much,  that together you are just one.

We're not gonna ask for your secret,

as it is here, shining out on us.

It is so impossible

not to admire

Your ruby flame.
