Our walk is growing shorter now,
We started in our youth,
We searched for beauty in this
life,
And yearned for knowing truth.

We shared our laughs, our smiles
and frowns,
We lightened each one’s load,
We traveled everywhere a pair,
Along life’s winding road.

We planted flowers in
springtime,
That beauty might be there,
And make the world a better
place,
To let it know we care.

We were each others shelter,
From the summers heat and rain,
We shared and cared, each day we
lived,
As if no more remained.

Oh how we loved the autumns,
It’s leaves; it’s crisp cool
air,
Drawing close, these golden
times,
We found joy everywhere.

Now winter is upon us Dear,
Cold, gray days setting in,
We spend our days, in memories,
From where we first began.

If all we own should leave us,
Abandoned by our health,
No friends, no one to care for
us,
We’d still retain our wealth,

For it is here, within our
hearts,
To warm us everyday,
It binds us to each other,
Along life’s winding way.

Our love will stay us to the
end,
Through winter, as we roam,
Our love is all that matters
now,
Until God calls us home. |
