FOREVERMORE - POTD
His heart overflowed with tears
As he watched her sleep
She was so frail and thin now
His inner being weeped
Together and in love since teenagers
She was ninety now….he ninety two
She was dying and the end was near
They knew what they wanted to do
She opened her eyes
Met his eyes and smiled
“Cup of tea my sweet ?” he asked
“It won’t be a while”
They sipped their tea slowly
Then lay down together in their bed
He cradled her in his arms
Kissed her gently on her forehead
She whispered “ l love you and will forevermore”
He softly echoed the same words
They kissed tenderly on the lips
Smiling they closed their eyes….not another word was heard!
They were both gone ……
