Infinity

Every day is a good day when I wake up and see your smiling face

even when the smile is somewhat weak, the troubles deep, you are with me

although our bodies slow but steady decay give lie to our ageless feel

and the days behind are far greater than those that await us

we still have walks to take, sunrises and sunsets to share

hikes up mountains, swims in the sea, late-night star gazing

meals to make, cookies to bake, hot cocoa days

wrapped in blankets or entwined on the couch

drifting off to sleep, hand in hand

as I hope it will be

with that last conscious moment

as we two slip

from this existence

to, perhaps,

infinity.
