Black Coffee Memories

As we wait for the day To start over anew We watch the sunrise Dry the morning dew. You have a paper, And I have a bowl This drink has stained everything, Even seeped to our souls. When we were younger We would dance until dawn. Now the thought only Makes both of us yawn. Though we have been tested, By my side there was you. Still, life holds no more cream For me or for you. Yet with sugar in our hearts, We sit here together Gazing up towards the stars As we will be forever. Though the sun has passed us Over 18, 262 times, My heart still yearns For your hand in mine. Our kids are now grown. We have beaten the rush, And still for you I will always crush. Rocking back and forth Looking over our fruit trees, We sit here on our porch swing Making black coffee memories.
