Till Death Do Us Part
Century after century
She whispered to him as they tucked in the kids “I love you”
Year after year
She waved their youngest off to college and whispered “I love you”
Month after month
She started using a cane to walk, but still reminded him “I love you”
Week after week
From her bed she called to him “I love you”
Day after day
After the grandchildren left for school she whispered, “I love you”
Hour after hour
Behind her mask she gasped, “I love you”
Minute after minute
She smiled as he took her hand and sighed, “I love you”
Second after second
He whispered, “I love you too”
