-Side By Side

You and Me

So many vehicles

So many journeys 

So many destinations

So many countries

Exploring life 

Side by Side

From teenagers to parents to retirees

Copious conversations

Decisions made

Disagreements

Abundant laughter

Grief

Rivers of tears

Music throughout the decades

Silly songs sung

Coffees aplenty

So many years 

Side by Side

So happy to hear of couples that stuck it out ... for better or worse, richer or poorer, to death do us part. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem of ageless love, my friend. Smiles and Blessings Bill
