together



together
golden rays
radiating deep
where the hurt lies
your hurt is age
and weary bones
and fighting
the good fight
to keep going
for me
my hurt is knowing
the day nears
when goodbyes
will be said
you know it too
i can see it
in your eyes
so brown
so true
telling of long years
of friendship
companionship
and secrets told
as one can only
tell a best friend
and so today as
we lie together
and commune
with the sun
i pour my love
and gratitude
into your soul
praying god
will give us
just a bit longer
together

Oh Julie. I stopped by yesterday and meant to (but don't think I did) comment on your sweet red toes. I'm always wondering when I come here how Presley is doing and have been always relieved to find he's still doing OK. Your writing is beautiful, especially today in this post, photos to cherish forever. There is nothing harder than saying goodbye. I hope for as many hours and days as are possible for you and dear Presley. Please know that we're thinking about you lots and sending loads of love and prayers to both of you.
