In the midst of the cold and misty morning
Still retaining tenaciously the orange hues
Likeness of golden Autumn less the shine
Shivering harboring beads of morning dew
Insisting on nearness to savor the warmth
Of togetherness reliving memories of old
Of days gone by but still fresh of moments
To cherish together steadfast within the fold
Relentlessly the years seem fast moving
A couple holding hands humming in unison
Thoughts of precious moments of sharing
Tugs the conscience at signs of disagreements
Being together sacrificing one’s comforts
To extend fellowship for sake of the other
The best there is for happiness without efforts
Certainly a convenient and accepted formula

ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful this piece Hank, whenever I see an old couple walking hand in hand I tear up a bit, I am a hopeless romantic
ReplyDeleteThrough lifes ups and downs and still as one, few ever make it that far.
ReplyDeleteThis one flows really well, Hank.
