Blessed love

Blessed are those lovers by heaven above,
their love is true in every way,
who sit side by side and watch
the setting sun’s ray.. with white hair,
gnarled finger, blurred vision in eye.

Those who stayed together side by side,
watching youth’s glory pass by
relishing all the tastes of life holding hands.
Bringing forth their children, bringing them up.

Wishing them goodbye so they can go and face life
of their own, knowing that there are people
who care, who may live thousands of miles away
but their hearts hold their hearts and souls.

Passed by all the temptations
which life brought their way.
Brushed away all the weeds of lust,
greed or anger,cherishing the blessings
of having a friend, an anchor to their boat,
adoring their lover’s true love all the way.
