Nothing But Time

Has it been so long ago Have we gone and gotton old Yesterday we had nothing but time Tomorrow which one will be left behind We settle down and take things slow We worry less and let things go In our hearts we both know Our memories drift like falling snow Let me hold your hand in mine Let us walk with arms entwine Let me steal that tender kiss As with each step we fondly reminisce A purple curtain falls darkening the sky Silvery stars twinkle their lullabies At life's edge who will first say goodbye Nothing but time for the one who survives The will to live for one another grows Being together is all we both know Enjoying our memories as they last Alas, even time itself shall pass 03/08/2003

At 80 and after just celebrating 60 yrs of marriage this is a very charming read. Thanks for putting elders thoughts into words and sharing them with all the soup to enjoy. oldbuck
