A Couple In White

On a remote part of the beach we walk as the sun was bowing to the night we happened upon a young couple having their picture taken… A young couple dressed in white. We smiled as we held each other’s hand…not too softly…not too tight. remembering a day…over 30 years ago… when we were that couple dressed in white. And even though we are 30 years older and our hair is a lot more grey I remember the feeling… I remember that moment as if it were yesterday. As my mind wandered back to the couple in white I saw her happiness bring her to tears and I secretly wished they will be as happy as we’ve been these past 30 years. And I wanted to say to this couple in white In their marriage…the older they grow to be honest to be kind to be loving to hold hands…and to never let go. And if you’re lucky in 30 years you might be walking on this very beach ss the sun once again bows to the night and you might happen upon a young couple having their picture taken… A young couple dressed in white. And you’ll hold each other’s hand and you’ll smile…as older couples do remembering a time…30 years ago… when that young couple in white…was you.
