Love for all Seasons

Spring smiled upon our first greeting,
glad eyes knew the occasion,
destiny granted that meeting,
your love entered the equation,
romance renewed my heart's beating,
embracing the situation.

Feelings grew fond before I knew,
Summer soon sealed the connection,
reluctance departed from view,
each day, I loved your affection,
happy to simply be with you,
yielding to your dear protection.

Autumn further sealed our union,
Winter saw complete communion.
