One More Ballad for an Old Man
Poem #290 • Every step we’ve taken led us to each other
How many years has it been?
It’s been so many that our memories feel like yesterday
I look at the love in your eyes from this moment to all the way back
Every step we’ve taken led us to each other
where the journey of life in unison started
Reaching to stroke your hair
the trust to take everything in our arms coursed through the sound of our breathing
all time has always felt still while our romance seems to never stop steaming
Until death do us part
your hands in mine
I am thankful to have been bestowed a gift so divine
