No one knows the memories
you carry in your heart,
over 60 years of them,
never apart,
your love starting fresh
on a country road
as a serviceman offered you a ride,
letters written during WWII
promises made and kept,
He came to see you before his mother
a new life begun together,
the birth of 6 children,
too many grandkids to count,
weddings and holiday gatherings,
Bodies turning old
but spirit the same,
you shared this journey together,
no one knows the memories,
but we see them in teardrops falling.
