So here we are - our children have grown and gone
Life's lessons so painstakingly drawn
Vanish like frost with the day
Life - humbling, that much is sure
So little stands fast, is secure
The vagaries of time hold full sway
But still, you stir a song in my soul,
Weave all the strands to a whole
Gathering the joys and the sorrows
Love, though spun from threads so fine
In time makes the strongest vine
Holding us close though some strands are broken
In love still, here we are
Winter day - shuffle 'cross ice and snow
So much to do, so many miles to go
The late afternoon is golden
Who knew - that life would go by so fast
The future become the past
The newness of love grow old
But still, you stir a song in my soul,
Weave all the strands to a whole
Your kindness and courage amaze me
Love, though spun from strands so fine
In time makes the strongest vine
Holding us close though some threads are broken
In love still, here we are
You - glance back as you go out the door
I've known that gaze from afore
Even before we'd met
I love - that you are who you are who you are
That together we've come so far
That together we travel yet
