We sit by each other’s side
Arms around each other
And we chat,
We chat about times passed.
I talk of my Joyce,
She talks of her Dave,
Each of us married,
Married to them for many years,
Both now passed on.
We have found a new life,
A new life of love for each other
An undying love that is so strong,
But our passed lovers are still there,
Are still there with us.
We know they will be pleased for us,
Pleased that we have found each other
With a love so full of wonder.
I know that when we pass we will meet,
The four of us will meet
And be together for eternity.

Hang on to that thought Andy .. N
Thank you Neville.
Andy
Yes, good write Gold.
Some are bothered by anxiety? guilt? sense of betrayal? etc, feeling they should never meet anyone else.
But. as you say, I'm sure departed ones are pleased when new partners are found - new loves, news friendships, new relationships.
Thank for your kind words Orchi, we did not see this coming, either of us but that love has overtaken us both.
Andy
Fido don't let me have any love -well, nothing 'exciting'. Should I put him out the back garden a while, and let me hair down?! lol.
It sounds like a healthy way of dealing with the inevitably of loss.

It certainly is that way John, we weren't looking for anything but this new love just happened.
Andy
A poem of the age. Those that remain are now gathering in reminiscing and hoping as those have gone before us await our entrance and join them for that reunion. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you crypticbard for your true words.

A wonderful situation of happiness to have found to keep on loving each other forever.
Thank you Fay, we will.
Andy

So true Mek, thank you.

Yesterday your words spoke of love, honesty, truth and respect. Without all four of those being wholeheartedly a part of your two lives you would not be able to enjoy what you write of today.
You are both very fortunate people to have found one another.
Yes we feel we are very fortunate to have found each other and we just do not understand why but are so glad it has happened.
Andy
What a wonderful way to view life. You must believe in your words and follow them forward. Consider yourself a fortunate man, and cling to what you now have.
This was an articulate expression of a life in change. - Phil A.
Most kind Phil, I feel that I am fortunate in my life, thank you for your kind words.
