I uttered a promise years ago
To
always be faithful and true,
To
take all the hard times along with the good
And
forevermore stand by you.
It
has ofttimes been more than chaotic
On
this rough roller-coaster ride,
But
I knew I could always see it through
As
long as you were by my side.
The
years may have weathered our outer veneers,
And
our thoughts may be muddled with age,
But
our hearts have grown closer and stronger
With
the turning of every page.
All
the youngsters have flown
Into
lives of their own,
No
more time for the old folks these days,
And
the loved-ones who mentored us for
So
many years have silently all slipped away.
Just
the two of us now,
No
one else to take care of.
Old
friends have all drifted afar.
So,
we sit holding hands,
No
words necessary,
And
wish on our own falling star.
