What am I seeing?



As they sit there staring off into the sky,
One thinking of time,
With the other one with a tear in her eye...
Off in the distance you hear little noise,
As the hustle and bussle has died out,
The wind moves the palms with such a poise...
You have no other route,
As you look into the mirror and see,
Someone looking back at what you would call me,
You smile with no fear,
Knowing the love of your life is near...
Life is too short to worry about what’s next,
Stop living your life as if it’s so perplexed...
As they sit there staring off into the sky,
It’s just a vision through your own eye...
As I sit here staring off into the sky

About this poem

Was sitting with my wife just thinking about my life, getting ready to be on my next flight. I work out of town for months on end.
