Two Upon the Shore of Life
"Like pebbles side by side
upon the sand,
together we’ve endured
the push and pull
of time’s relentless waves.
Still hand in hand, we stand,
where all is moveable, unmoved.
upon the sand,
together we’ve endured
the push and pull
of time’s relentless waves.
Still hand in hand, we stand,
where all is moveable, unmoved.
Unending love has made us one
against the toss and tow
of wind and sea.
Now smoothed and polished
by the rain and sun,
our separate lives
are shaped in unity…

You are still you in ways that
have not changed
since we were brought
together long ago.
I am still I.

I am still I.
And time that rearranged
our features
cannot dim the heart’s
deep glow:

We shine together
in this time and place,
each one the light
upon the other’s face.”

You are truly my

ReplyDeleteLOL - I love your use of the word "bravery" :) Indeed - relationship takes "bravery!" I remember telling someone several years ago that if I had known how difficult the marriage relationship was going to be I would have become a nun!!! LOL :) It certainly has had its ups and downs ~ ~ ~
