Beaky's Blather

As years go by…. the mirror must show

What we’ve had to endure to know what we know

It’s brought us wisdom, taught caution, all our years are shown there.

They’re our badges in life, every small sign of wear

You’re saddened, feel anxious, wish that we could have seen,

all that we have to become what we’ve been

without ever a fracture, a scar or a tear

to show what its cost us show people who care

what now we must live with, the cross we must bear

But I want you to know that to me you’re the best

it is you brings me strength far beyond all the rest.

I want you to know this, my best friend, my wife

You’re quick and you’re clever and you’re so full of life.

That I look at you now and I think I’ve been blest

to have you… as you are, I want no more and no less

but you in my life… as you are now and forever

as my friend and my muse, my partner, my lover.

You’re still the one that I reach for to hold and to kiss

I want you to relax and remember this…

I loved you when young, and I love you still now

When you’re old and I’m long gone, I’ll still love you …somehow
