It's been a long day. It
seems like every day is
a long one now. My eyes
are tired and sore, my head
is heavy. I know that I
used to be able to stay
up all night.
Was a time that I could stay
up for days at a time. I had
stamina to spare. I'd study,
work out, drink, fight, make
love all night, and keep going
when the sun came up.
Now, once the children are
in bed and quieting down.
The dog is laying at my feet.
My head is heavy after the day.
You are here beside me on
the couch.
Grey now streaks my hair. Still,
nothing can replace the tenderness
and love that we share. The years
that you have always been there.
I love you.
