Love At First Sight
I just witnessed love
Flying in beautiful doves
He says they have been married since 1953
I say, I wasn't born until 1980-something
He loves her so much, the love of his life
She lays there, eyes closed without strife
She says very little, only mourns when in pain
She moves very little, bedridden they say
He, with his little notepad, to write it all
About everything that makes her whole
He, in early dementia and hard of hearing
He, has that limp when he walks, but never losses bearing
He tells me, that when I am in my fifties
Then I'll see the light
I look at him, at her and shake my head
Agreeing, because i see the light in them
