WHAT BRINGS US CLOSE

by David Knape

What brings us closer
is our years,
the breath of time
those moments shared

What memories
we now reclaim,
more precious now
than they first seemed

What brings us closer
common dreams,
some we fulfilled
some unforeseen

Now in the twilight
of our lives,
we're closer than
we realized

In that we now
so easily share
our random thoughts
in love compared

Between us two
we have so much,
these quieter times
a gentle touch

A smile, a laugh
such menial fare,
true friendship with
the one who cares

Age is not
the cruelest thing
when 'tween two people
closeness brings

In truth age is
an worthy host,
it brings two people
ever close.
