Just the two of us
Preparing to pack up and go
Heading south for the winter
As the leaves fall from the trees
Just the two of us looking forward
To being together every day
The same as we are now
But away from the snow and ice cold
Leaving our home here in good hands
Looked after by friends and family
Watering our many house plants
Monitoring important mail
Just the two of us on our anniversary
Constant companions traveling
To our temporary housing
In our temporary existence
Replicating how we live our lives
Setting up housekeeping wherever we are
We who have been together a long time
Enjoying our daily routine
Waking up in a warm place
Going out for a walk in a nature preserve
Immersed in the diversity of life forms
This is the life for us
