"We"
by Rich Reith


When they began, he moved into her,
Soulmates dancing loves sweet ballet.
Then, when the loving suddenly died,
He learned to deal with pain from day to day.

Yet, through life they built their special times.
Promising until death do us part,
Faithfully and for better, for worse.
Hand in hand, side by side, heart to heart.

Together they took their love day by day
Raising children and building a life
He persevered through pain of being
Without passion, yet husband and wife.

She knowingly made him feel worthless,
Showed she'd never feel an attraction.
Through all their years she confirmed his lack
Uncaring of his hearts reaction

Only God can chart the path to walk
For no man, the future can see –
Whether they'll wind up on separate paths
Or finally have two become “We.”
