In my Future.

I see us

I see you

By my side

Two little ones

A little girl

A little boy

Chasing one another

In our front yard

Surround by a white picket fence

Us on the porch

Of a log cabin

That you built with your two hands

I see us

I see you

Coming home from work

Me greeting you with a smile and kiss

Supper’s in the oven

Our little girl playing with dolls

Our boy playing on his guitar

Our dog watching the kids

I see us

I see you

Holding me by a fire

The kids out for the night

Our dog resting at our feet

I see us

I see you

Cheering him on

As he graduates

She’s standing next to her boyfriend

I see us 

I see you

Cheering her on

As she graduates

Her brother home from college

I see us

I see you

Walking her down the aisle

She’s marrying her high school sweetheart

I see us

I see you

Crying

Our kids are grown

And have a life of their own

Our dog’s head in your lap

I see us

I see you

Sitting side by side

Watching our grandchildren play

Outside in the yard

Surrounded by that white picket fence

The one our kids played in

When they were little

And we were still young

I see us 

Still so madly in love

Dancing to music that isn’t there

They see us

Buried next to one another

Playing The Dance

I see us

Together even in heaven
