It’s been a long time

my love;

this you and I thing

we water and weed

together

It’s been a blessing

to grow with you

Sometimes,

I’m caught off guard

while I’m busy

moving my joints

and making my lists;

my eye catches yours

and I’m lost again

Time stops, my love,

and you and I

have a moment

no one else can see

Time has been good;

love has been plentiful;

sorrows have been few;

forgiveness has been granted

It’s been a long time

my love;

this you and I thing

we clean and polish

together

It’s been a blessing

to shine with you
