These are the best of days
The golden times
Where we spend the hours we saved
And laugh grateful for one another
Holding hand in hand
Walking arm in arm
Pressing close in long practiced embrace
Running fingers along memorized face
These are the kingly, royal days
The stuff of dreams and best wishes
Full of laughter, full of joy
How bright these moments built together
Life savings spent in silent nearness
Content to have this kindred spirit found
Our steps creating hallowed ground
Words are evidence of gratitude
Like soft bells in the valleys where they sound
