Thinking Of Us Again
Lately I’ve been thinking about my life’s time.
All the things we’ve shared since you were mine.
The children that we’ve raised.
The many games we’ve played.
The ups & downs, the all around.
The things that make up life abounds.
I have to say all and all
it’s been a good life overall.
I thank God for treating us so kind.
Just the other day, when a grandchild was here .
The way you laughed & played with her brought tears.
It brought back memories from the past.
The kind of memories that will always last.
Just one more reason I love you so much, dear.
I always cherish the moments that your near.
Things are slowing down some now.
Still, the spark of love burns somehow.
I thank God for giving us this time.
Overall we’ve done our best.
We’re at ease with all the rest.
It’s as much fun now as it was back then.
I’m sure we’d make the same choices again.
The little things add up.
When you fill my coffee cup.
You always say to my health.
I ask “What about the wealth?”
I thank God when you say I’m your gold mine.
As I think of it all.
There is no other call.
I couldn’t have done better if I tried.
Especially with you right by my side.
Through the thick and thin.
I knew we would always win.
Having you is my greatest prize.
Loving you means never telling lies.
I thank God for being there all the time.—–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
