Our Legacy

He is my fortress and my strength His love he has proven at length In times of sickness and in times of health He has remained open not stealth. In youth we loved passionately With children we loved affectionately In middle age we loved calmly With age we love patiently. Many decades we leave behind us Yet a few decades remain ahead of us We are free to say what is on our mind Knowing we’ve survived the test of time. When money we had little of When children were ill When we were hurt by family or friends – When one was ill, the other thrived we held on so neither was ever left behind. This is the legacy we leave Not of a love that is divine But of a love that has ridden the roller coaster ride And survived.
