Steve’s secret castle, walls ravaged by time
Was once a virgin, and looked so fine
Innocence gone, and replaced with a lifetime scar
Still stands proud, overlooking lands far



Battles raged, and still this wall firmly stood
Resisting life’s onslaught, as best it could
Ungiving and firm, this wall resists all
Who wish to destroy, it will not fall



Protecting, defending, and providing romance
It’s occupants life, it did enhance
Stands proud with scars, so obviously displayed
It’s defensive role, never once did fade



As this wall matures, with advancing years
This damage created, should not show tears
A mature beauty, displays it’s life with pride
Matters not the scars, it will not hide



As we progress, throughout this life
We collect the scars, caused by the strife
Hide not I say, walk tall and proud
Proclaim your success, in a voice that’s loud



In later years, your strength diminished
You have more to offer, you are not finished
So join with me, these sentiments to share
Simply show this world, that you still care

There is only one way to say

"I Love You"

But there are many ways to demonstrate
