Should Of Been Me

An old couple walked down the street And that is where we did meet, Happy and joyful at each others side Their love and companionship they could not hide, They complimented each other with every step they took As though they fallen from a romance book, She held his hand and he held onto her arm They protected each other from sadness and harm, They talked to me about their life together And how they were one, and they belonged to each other, Then when I looked into their eyes I was happy what I saw Faith and devotion, and the obeying of GOD'S law, They had journeyed a great distance in life which is true Through both good and bad times and hardships as two, And now their journey together in life is almost finished But their love for each other will never be diminished, They walked very slowly as they walked away So I said good bye to them, at least for that day, Together they had loved, honored and obeyed And never to the other, had they lied or betrayed, I smiled as I was joyful that them I did see But then sadly I thought, that should of been me.
