I see an older couple walking hand in hand,

They have been together forever,

Walking in perfect unison, step by step, side by side.

Suddenly he stops and pulls her close,

As he whispers in her ear, she giggles and starts to blush.

He softly kisses her lips and takes her hand again.

Twenty years later I still remember the day we met,

You the strong, quiet man and me the slightly unsure woman.

My heart skipped as you said hello and accidentally touch my hand.

Through good times and bad, we have always held hands,

That simple bond for all to see, as we grow older together,

That same example to others we will forever be.
