A conversation with my husband 11/16/2016
“Thanks for being so good to me and I’m sorry I am not stronger. I’ll try harder.”
“It’s not your fault. Your body is just wearing out.”
“Well, there aught to be a sensible way for that to happen.”
The Commitment
(For those whose loved ones are near but yet so far away)
When you are confused,
And don’t know the way,
I will gently guide you,
For most of the day.
And when you can’t recall my name,
Or who I am,
I will take your hand,
And let you know its ok.
For although our relationship has changed,
You are the one I will,
Cherish, love, and care for,
For the rest of your days.
The task is not an easy one.
For either of us in many ways.
And yet, each day brings us more time
To love in a very intimate way.
