Till Death Do Us Part

On the park bench, they sit alone

An old couple, weathered and forlorn 

They think of how the years went by

And remember all the goodbyes with a sigh

The children they've raised, have grown and gone

And now they must face each new dawn

With nothing but memories of days gone by

And the love that keeps them from asking why

They sit together, holding hands

Watching the world pass by, like grains of sand

No words are spoken, none need to be said

Their love speaks volumes, in their hearts it is spread

The park is their haven, a place of peace

Where they can escape and find release

From the lonely life they lead at home

And the silence that fills it, like a tomb

They sit on the bench, watching the sun

As it slowly sets, when the day is done

And as they rise, to leave the park

Their love still shines, like a bright, spark

For though they may be old and grey

Their love is constant never fading away

And as they walk hand in hand each day

They know that in each other’s heart they will always stay
