The Best Years by Gail Gregory Ponterio

GET AWAY

It was a time for
listening and loving-
our togetherness brought
forth and reinforced-
as if we were the only
two people to consider.

Long, lazy days
fulfilling and happy-
blessed by God in their
choice for life.
Giving exchanged freely
and enhanced by doing so;
deepening the existing love
and expanding the depths
of a future together.


These are the best years...
for we can grasp the
realization of what we have,
as we move foreword, connecting and relying
upon each other-never
measuring what we give or take.
but flowing together with
happiness and joy
