Beauty Witnessed

Fifty years of wedded bliss

Two as one, old and grey

A lifetime

Lessons learned

Triumphs, excitement

Wading through struggles

Children growing

An abundance

that only love can know

Who could think

that life would pass by

Fleeting

Coming to a close

Knowing one will wait for the other

Patiently

A patience well learned

Two wrinkled hands

held for the last time

Not afraid to leave this world

but afraid for the one love

whom is left behind

Like she's said many times in this life

"Tell me it's okay."
