she was six,
and he was eight
now he sits,
and demonstrates
a love he cherished.
sixty years
from wedding vows
marked into
a gold band,
we sigh of love -
he has never
felt a weight like this,
no slumbered hand
to kiss
body aged,
bent low -
he fueled affection
but had to watch
her go...
and now
she slumbers
in depths
only his soul
could reach.
