Sixty-Five Years

He sits alone in the room with silence,                               rocking in his chair he loves so much,                                looking at a picture teary eyed and tense,                            one in his hands from the hutch.                                      Then the silence broke"why did you leave me"?                         we were together for sixty-five years,                                with our hearts,love and trust always to be,                          holding our wedding picture as he wiped his tears.                    I whispered"never have I left-I`ve always been here",                 I love you forever with all my sole and heart,                        I`ve loved you for sixty-five years.
