Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

They In Love, Both Sought To Teach

They In Love, Both Sought To Teach


 They in love both sought to teach
 hearts melded together each to each
 Spritely wind in each blowing sail
 both wished same, coin in the well

 Standing determined hand in hand
 weathering every storm in this land
 She feeling deeply his every fall
 he racing to her every beck and call

 Old age found them together strong
 walking side by side right on along
 She turned to help him as he slowed
 he kissed her hand, her smile glowed

 They in love both sought to teach
 hearts melded together each to each
 Failing wind now in each blowing sail
 both wished same, coin in the well

 One Spring day neither rose from bed
 his arm around her, both lay quite dead
