sixties

As you are turning sixty
And I am five years beyond that day
We are making plans for our next life
When we can relax and enjoy ourselves.

We hope to have a few more years
Being optimists about our health
And realists about our chances
Being together being alive.

As I remember the other sixties
When we were youthful activists
That seems to me like just yesterday
That proves for sure we are getting old.

I see you looking cute in your sun dress
And know the young girl is in there still
Living with the thoughtful grown woman
Who talks with me about our world today.

How lucky we are so late in life
To find each other and make this pair.
You know I love you the way you are
And how I love you more each day.

I know you love me just as much.
I trust your caring arms around me.
You are so dependable and true
Speaking sweet words of wisdom.

For many more mornings rising together
For many more field trips planned together
For many more nights saying good night
For many more happy days with you.
