Growing Together

“Growing Together” 

Oh yes we are growing older together,
I would want it with none other!

Spring showers, now summer days, oh how swiftly,
Fall’s fleeting; winter’s sleeting, oh how quickly.

From dawn to dusk – week to month,
Year by year – time so dear!

Oh yes we are growing older together,
I would want it with none other!

Yes rose petals are fading, winter’s invading,
Icy winds are blowing, all life’s ebbing.
Crowns are graying-yes life’s decaying.

I know you feel the threatening days,
But my Dorella I am always with you…
And hand in hand we will face another winter too!  

Love, Terry
