When We Were Five

When you and I were only five it was fun just being alive to smell the air and feel the sun with trails to walk and fields to run When you and I were just sixteen our new romance was so pristine That sudden unexpected kiss unveiled a hidden world of bliss And when our childhood was through and you and I were twenty two you made my life much more worthwhile the day I walked you down the aisle Our lives were rosy and so sweet and all the world was so complete The years went faster than before when you and I were thirty four So young, I watched you slowing down as sickness grayed your hair, once brown When you and I were forty seven was the year you went to heaven Our time together was too brief I sadly ponder in my grief It's harder now just being alive than it was when we were five © Mike Wise 12-28-17
