Day 490 - If

If I live to be one hundred and two,
I hope everyday til then is spent with you.
I want to wake to see your smiling face,
Fill my nights with your warm embrace.
I want to hear stories from when I'm not there,
Find the floor covered in your long, dark hair.
I look forward to being a part of your career success,
Watching you give our children advice for the best.
I need your silly faces to brighten my dark days,
To bring me back down to Earth when my mind strays.
I want to fly with you to far off places,
Run through wild flowers, explore ancient spaces.
We'll find new love songs to sing every year,
Still holding hands as our bodies start to wear.
There will be support and trust through life's ups and downs,
Coupled with prayers and love for you as long as I'm around.
