Empty Nest

I hear the pounding of the rain From a late winter's storm While it's cold and wet outside Inside our home it's cozy warm There's a fire in the fireplace A movie playing on TV A big bowl of popcorn Sits between you and me Year's ago we dreamed of this When it would be just us two After many year's of waiting That dream has finally come true The kids are all gone now Living on their own It's just you and I Alone, in our comfortable little home Now the year's that lie ahead Will be like the one's from our past Filled with love, happiness and togetherness That we know will forever last If we're fortunate enough To leave this earth together Death as in life Will be as unpredictable as the weather But as long as your beside me I'll stay right here with you As you lead the way Just like you have our whole life through 3-20-20/RjH
