One day baby...
Years from now …
We will be sitting on our front porch,
Drinking coffee together as the sun goes down.
Your face full of life
Your hair full of silver
And your eyes full of wisdom.
But even then, I take your hand,
With its wrinkles sewn
With time in mine,
And I kiss it softly
As we silently
Rewind these memories in our minds.
Tears began to form in my eyes
I knew I was a lucky guy
But only then did I truly realize,
The changes we made
And love that we made
With every year that flew by.
It wasn't luck…
It was a blessing to share this life,
With you by my side…
Then suddenly as one lonely teardrop fell,
I realized,
Just as our eyes
Watched our children grow and change with time.
We watched ourselves grow and change also,
With each turn of the page in our book of memories....
We had without knowing, wrote a story of passion, love and beauty...
From all the years shared between you and me...
I can see our love grow deeper as we grow older.
I can see our relationship take shape as each chapter unfolds.
All these trails we left behind in the dust
The narrative of our trials and perseverance,
I watched our relationship form
How we learned to listen
How we learned to trust
I watched as our lives became one…
Held within these bindings in our minds.
I find a reflection of how we came to be us.
The story we had no idea we were writing,
The story of ...Us.
A foreshadow of a memory.
