They enjoyed the candle-light dinner
Amidst the flames of a romantic encounter
Reminiscent of their courting days before
How meek a woman she was then
Allowing him to pick the occasions
right through to the locations
How they laughed in between songs
in a reasonably placed restaurant
Oblivious of the crowd they could see
who even clapped and wished them well
when told it was their anniversary
However the winds of change
came fast and quick
It did not cross their mind to witness
This time there was no crowd
Just the two of them
to enjoy the candle-light dinner...
at home
They had to live with it
Business were down compounded
with aspects of the post-Middle East crisis
They were late in payments
for their utilities and loans
They prayed it would not linger on
for far too long
Otherwise it would still

Candlelight dinners at home sound good to me. So nice to see you here, Hank.
