As you're lying next to me so still
I contemplate our life
So many years ago
you said you'd be my wife
As we rise in preparation for
another fruitful day
you smile and take my hand
beside me all the way
And as we run into life's obstacles
we've proven we're unstoppable
We both know we're at the threshold of
the winter of our lives
and yet we share the fear
since we're together dear
Still the time will come some future day
when one of us must go
I pray that it be me
but there's no way to know
And so we live to love another day
so happy that our lives turned out this way

PoetryLyric poetry can be highly musical, and is usually the private expression of emotion by a single speaker. My lyric poetry consists of little scribbles and echoes of life.
