As you're lying next to me so still I contemplate our life So many years ago you said you'd be my wife As we rise in preparation for another fruitful day you smile and take my hand beside me all the way And as we run into life's obstacles we've proven we're unstoppable We both know we're at the threshold of the winter of our lives and yet we share the fear since we're together dear Still the time will come some future day when one of us must go I pray that it be me but there's no way to know And so we live to love another day so happy that our lives turned out this way *** 8/6/2020 Photo credit: Miriam Cox | Papercut Artist http://miriamcoxpapercuts.blogspot.com

I want to go first too, but I'm so bad. I rather leave him my mess, than the other way around. Hope you and Carol walk into P. together.
