Forever

He walks into the kitchen
And she is standing there
His cup of coffee ready
Beside his favorite chair
He smiles and gazes upon her
For time has not erased
The love he sees there shining
Etched across her face
 
As he strolls across the floor
She smooths her graying hair
Rushes to his open arms
And he holds her near
She's missed him every minute
That he's been away
His kisses say I love you
More than any words could say
 
Balls, blocks and baby dolls
No longer clutter the floor
Children and the busy years
Have wandered out the door
Through all the years of loving
And storms that they have weathered
They've clung tightly to each other
Vowed to stay together
 
They're living out their twilight years
Happy and content
Having no regrets
For the years that they have spent
Leaning on each other
Never growing apart
A lifetime of sweet memories
Shared between two hearts
