Our Linchpin
Location
Along the shore
Where the water leaves its mark
Is where you and I
Will end and start.
In daily trips and weekly swims
In hours passing
And time racing in.
In shifting tides
And falling waves.
These are the days
That you and I
Refuse to count
Because they will last forever.
And though the moment will fade
And tomorrow will be the new “today”,
The memories will always
Be etched into our brain.
And as we separate
And go our own ways
I am sure that you will find
Just as well as I
That time never stops
And that life will go on
And though we won’t have the Delaware river
To worship as a linchpin,
We will always have the sunsets that we watched
Dancing behind our eyes
And at the forefront of our minds.
