with one glance
as you look over your
shoulder and smile
sweetness
with your eyes.
only just begun,
yet I know there will be a day
in some distant time
when the days grow short.
as we sip our tea
with the dust
of a million miles
on our feet
and know that this
life was lived complete,
my dear.
About this Poem: The picture above is one that we recently found of my parents from the mid-1960’s. It was taken in a photo booth at a drugstore during one of their first dates. They dated for about a year before they married. I came along seven years later in 1971, then my brother was born in 1974.
Finding this picture was such a gift. In this image I see two people who realize they have their whole lives ahead of them and still are of the belief that anything is possible. They've weathered many storms and shared much joy in their fifty years of marriage.
