No time to dwell
(on what's been undone)
or that
which has become undone
We'll hold onto
each of our moments
when love's song was sung
(When) we stepped on time's ladder
climbed each rung
Each one told a story
of births and deaths
failures and success
The higher we ascended
The shakier the ladder
Encouraging each other
when our legs start to tremble,
when our balance is threatened,
My hand in yours
then
your hand in mine
Should you fall behind
I wait for you
When I falter
You wait for me
When we stumble
We hold on to each other
With a word
A look
A warm embrace
Time's ladder
over time
deteriorates
with aging and pain
I know we'll hold on to the end
though no promises can be made
I'm not perfect
Neither are you
But
I know I won't be climbing to these heights again
or stepping up on to
another time's ladder.
A nod to the Boss, "If I Should Fall Behind "
