There they are across the street;

day after day, never missing a beat.

She looks to the left, then to the right;

he just sits there, the day's highlight.

You walk outside, she waves hello;

who knows what she'll do tomorrow.

They both go in for lunch, now they're back outside;

after tens hours or so they go in with the tide.

For two weeks straight the ambulance came;

the cops came too, what a blasted shame.

One day it was him, the next day it was her;

the EMT's and cops were in quite a stir.

We'll all get there someday ya know;

those golden years minus all the gusto.

Whe knows if we'll be just looking around all day;

we put in our time, resilience has its way.

There they are across the street;

day after day, never missing a beat.

Summer turns into fall, they savor the foliage;

together they pass on through their life's voyage.
