Twilight Years
"Grow old with me! The best is yet to be."
Robert Browning
When we reach those twilight years
In the mist of dew drop tears
As you stop and stare
I beside you, will be there
We both have acted out on stage
We will finally reach that ripe old age
Long ago we gave to each other our heart
We vowed to never part
As we grew wiser and older
A lot of weight was placed on our shoulders
I'll be your eyes when you can no longer see
You'll be there for me
I'll be there for you
This as our love is forever true
When you forget your words
We will sit and listen to the birds
Throughout our plans and schemes
We've had many pleasant dreams
As the sun goes down without a sound
You have already reached homeward bound
Oh, my how the years have flown by
We will both rest in peace in our home on high
ŠApril 25, 2021 Janet Griffin
*Author's note: To my dear loving husband our twilight years will live on and on in each of our hearts. Our words, "come grow old with me."
