Aging Together
With the swiftness of the wind
The years pass too fast away:
Once I was a fair young bride
Wasn’t it just yesterday?
Now I spy me in the glass
An old great-grandmother now,
Circled round by progeny,
And grey hair upon my brow.
Yet my husband will tell me
That I’m still his precious bride,
His eyesight may be fading
Yet I feel his honest pride.
With both of us on our canes,
And our knees weak like cotton,
But when he glances at me
I feel my hair’s still golden.
We say “I love you” daily,
And we thank the Lord in prayer
For providing us old age:
This “growing grey” together.
