Two shadows played across the sand
On the deserted beach
Still warm from the sinking crimson sun!
The two lovers strolled along
Completely enamoured
After a lifetime together!
Her tiny fingers disappeared
Inside his big calloused hand, as
In ear-splitting tones
Their voices shattered
The stillness of the salty air…
Hearing aids on the fritz!
In a gentle voice he yelled at her.
All but screaming, she yelled back at him!
Sharing heart warming memories of life
Richly carved out of enduring love,
They spoke of children, grandchildren
And the blessings they’d enjoyed together.
In the shadows, near a gnarled old tree
Dry and brittle, yet somehow, like them, defiant
Against the ravages of time
They paused to share a warm embrace.
And their sunset kiss was one of mutual adoration,
Everlasting friendship, and souls
Destined to be together forever!

My parents were married 67 years and mama just died. It's devastating to the other partner to be left behind. The nurses ahve told me that some older couples just can't be separated and that when one dies, the other would rather go along with them than stay here on earth.

Yeah, we hear about the broken homes, divorces, etc., but there are many who go the distance and that must be a wonderful feeling.
