Sixty-five years in this temporary place.

Reflecting upon early life... 

loved as remembered...

into the heartbeat of choices,

creating life changing events,

turning one-hundred eighty degrees

for the longing of the unexpected.

Maturing & aging in this path of life...

in celebrations & trials,

pushing forward,

taking step by step,

to what is unknown.

Being next to you

 standing tall, hands barely touching 

having grown together in sync

grounded in unspoken love

and assured of the path I've been.
