Slowly and careful
Your steps find their mark
Over paths well travelled
Through our favourite park.
Eyes that could syp
A ladybug's flight
Now search for the ball
that's plainly in sight
A nose that would search
cool breeze blowing free
Is unstirred by the scents
of a squirrel in the tree
Agile and spry, a marvel to watch
A deer could only compare
Is sadly a memory tucked away
as I watch you tackle a stair
Although your body has grown tired
And Life has taken its toll
I still see only my friend, my companion
through your wonderful loving soul
A soul with a lock
where old age holds no key
Keeping youth perpetual
If only for my eyes to see
We continue our walk as we've done so before
But soon we will reluctantly part
Our paths will divide but you need not fear
For with you, you'll be taking my heart.
