TOGETHER
Together…it’s one of my favorite words…I believe it deserves some recognition
sometimes it’s the simplest words that give life its definition.
If you’re lucky enough to find someone to share your world with,
your cares are few…you know there’s nothing you can’t weather
you hope for happiness, perhaps a home…a family…
and you have this shared dream of growing old together.
Then life comes at you with its responsibilities…its burdens…its restraints…
you secretly wonder how you’ll ever muddle through…
but together you do…
then one morning you wake up and realize your dreams have all come true.
You know life hasn’t always been easy…sometimes you’ve been at the mercy of the wind…like a feather…but you’re healthy, you’re happy…you’ve made it…you have grown old together.
Life has moved so quickly , however, you’re not sure when it happened…how…or even where…but with your children grown…your grandchildren growing…there is happiness in the air.
It’s a wonderful feeling knowing you were right…
when you said there is nothing you can’t weather…
and now you’re ready for the next phase of your life…
growing even older together.
There’s a funny thing about time…
as we’re building a life…a family…how often we admit…
no matter how much we try to budget our time…
there’s never enough of it.
Often time is our enemy…and we wonder if that feeling will ever end
then one day…as if my magic…time becomes our friend.
And when we have the time to look back…
we realize what has been the glue in our life…the bond…the tether…
What made our life worthwhile…was simply living it…together.
