Years







They are not mine to throw away
but days to watch
and keep
and play
them out,

one
by
one.

The sun
lays down the day's last light.
I call you in.
You say you might
just stay a while
and think,

one
by
one.

You give me sense of peace
and right,
of purpose and you keep in sight
a living of our days,

one
by
one.
