Cherished
Every dawn, every sunset, every night
are moments cherished, with you
sometimes they pass unnoticed
others, stay as precious memories
a day beneath a passing sun
tossing pennies in a stream
making wishes from our dreams
when first we met
an evening watching you run
through a sudden downpour
with a rainbow at your back
trying to make it to our front door
a night driving in a car...lost
never getting very far
ending up on the same road
breaking up in laughter
realizing we've become two old people
driving in circles
moments held like precious jewels
become timeless ribbons
shared with our souls
tied like bows around our hearts
presents for tomorrow's honeyed recollections
born from unselfish love
that made us one
we laugh as one, we cry as one, we play as one
our only fear is we know one day, it will all be gone
there's great sadness in this
and yet, no one could cherish anyone
more than we cherish each other
