HOW MANY
As they walked together in the morning the old man wondered:
How many walks have they shared over the years?
How many quiet moments?
How many whispers?
How many smiles?
How many tears?
How many a child’s laughter have they shared?
How many meals?
How many pets?
How many walks along the beach have they taken?
How many sunrises?
How many sunsets?
How many mountains have they climbed together?
How many rivers?
How many streams?
How many beliefs and wishes have they shared with one another?
How many hopes?
How many dreams?
How many times have they said, ‘I love you’?
How many beautiful moments…unplanned?
How many hugs.
How many kisses?
How many times have they held each other’s hands?
Which made the old man wonder in the midst of all hewas thinking of…
If that is the most exquisite…
the most wonderful…
the simplest beauty of love…
That they’ve shares so many wonderful memories
they can’t possibly remember the exact amount….
so many memories…in a lifetime together…
that they long ago lost count.
