Until It Wasn't

Adventures and laughter set our days glowing

Love built a home and filled it with companions

Life was good and filled with purpose

Until it wasn’t.

Silver wings carried us to exotic lands 

And strange tongues sang in our ears 

Soaring mountains beckoned and

Broad streets whose lights banished the dark

Couples walking together, arms linked and hearts.

Until it wasn’t.

We grew up, moved on, and dreamed of the future

Planning and building and singing our songs

Children, grandchildren, our family expanding

Bright days glowing, banishing the dark,

We walked together, arms linked and hearts.

Until it wasn’t.

Adventures and laughter set our days glowing

Love built a home and filled it with companions

Life was good and filled with purpose

Until it wasn’t.
