Wishing For Eternity

As I enjoyed my morning stroll
Three benches I did see
Upon the first I  rest my bones
A moment just for me

I saw a lady walking forth 
An age I dare not guess
From behind, a face so sweet
Her grandson she was blessed

They sat only a breath away
The chatter I could hear
The smiles upon there faces
Made me shed a single tear

Could feel the pure devotion
In every word they spoke
The world around them passing bye
As they just sit and talk

The reason for my misty eyes
A grand old age was she
The partnership that they had formed
Could not last eternally
