They sit in their rockers on the front porch
and rock back and forth with a smile
Having lived all their lives full of love; no regrets
Now they knew they were on their last mile
After 70 years hand in hand they have walked
with hardly a cross word to say
They've worked and they've lived in their own paradise
True love from the very first day
From the first day they met
they knew that they should let
both their hearts follow paths only dreamt
And with this they embarked
on a beautiful journey
like a dream conjured up while they slept
As the days passed they knew
a mistake they'd not made
and loved each other desperately
for they knew from the day
was it April or May
back in nineteen hundred and three
So they close out their lives
Truly loving each other
Not even eyes wandered or strayed
But together forever they swore that they'd never
break the promise they made.
So they rock back and forth
for the last little bit
smiling tenderly as they rock last
for their lives have been full
their love has been grand
Much more than any could ask
Eric
