My River and I were as one,
The glorious sun shining on us.
The River so placid,
So still,
A wonderful day for us both.
Then I saw them,
A couple of significant age
Walking beside each other,
As they obviously had
Had for many, many years.
So wonderful to see,
But then I was saddened
They were walking hand in hand,
As my lover and I used to.
So wonderful for them,
Such a sadness for me.

Such glorious memories you hold of a true love which fulfilled you many years. Many of us have no such wonders upon which to reflect.
Better to have loved and lost than.....
Yep, a sad read. There must be moments of sadness.
“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

A poignant write Gold.
At the moment we don't want to see too many hand-in-hand - if they are not related to each other.
Thanks Orchi.
there must be many such observations that make you smile with tears streaming my friend....
I felt this and true...
Thank you Neville, there surely are, it is the little things, such as this, that seem to mean so much.

I am so so lucky in that that couple could have Jeanne - we walk each day through the country lanes and by our local river and yet we are both still fearfull that this dreadful virus might take it all away.
I too walk every day by My River and find that people are very aware of keeping away from each other and I am sure it will be the same where you are Michael. We must stay aware.
Keep well and stay safe both of you.

BRIAN HERE ~ Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ We love JLs *IMAGINE* a very haunting Tune & Lyric ~ aptly suited to the essence of your Poem. So many scenarios will spark memeories of your wonderful years with your Beloved Joyce. It makes newlyweds like Angela & I ~ thankful for each moment we have together *Hand in Hand*. Im very proud of Angela working at the hospital @ this dreadful time. She is on Orthopedic & Physio but comes home each day ~ drained by the 24/7 danger her Colleagues in COVID 19 ICU are facing. She cries for them & their patients ~ when she comes home each evening.
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🤍💙

I am sure that you will go hand in hand throughout your lives, your new life is ahead of you - enjoy it.
And
the lord gives us all of it andy,sweet memories will last forever
Thank you for you words ron, but as you may have seen in my previous poems the, so called, lord abandoned Joyce and me so I have abandoned organised religion and felt a great weight move from me.

i totally understand andy,lot of people feel this way,he wants us to worship him but we can`t seem to find him especially when we need him
the memories of love shared will never to taken away dear friend -- sometimes we feel lonely on seeing couples but thinking of days when love gave such riches can help us on our way.
Thank you Fay, yes we had such riches in our life and they will always be remembered.
