Devotion

I called his name

when I was afraid

and you were

there to comfort me.

I stood confused

not knowing how

to put on my shoes

and gently you

placed them on my feet.

I became agitated

when sunset came

and you took my hand

to wait beside me

as the shadows settled

across the wall.

I no longer knew

how to dance

and you gently took me

In your arms

to guide me

through the steps.

I forgot so many things

in those sorrowful last days,

but you were there

to hold me in the fog,

a devoted husband

remembering

all the memories I had lost.

Real Toads ~ Valentine's Day

 Someday when we meet up yonder

We’ll stroll hand in hand again

In a land that knows no parting

Blue eyes crying in the rain.

The last time I saw them dance was to this song.
