Walking Alongside

Six years walking alongside,

And I have hardly any pictures,

Which sucks,

Because my brain,

Can’t recall,

The richness of these many moments,

Walking alongside.

In Downtown Disney we talked,

 Of walking alongside,

Shared dreams,

Scared hugs,

Because the past,

Was a step-stone to a future,

Walking alongside.

Waiting out a hailstorm

We sat on a bench,

Cuddling, cold,

No place we had to be,

But together,

We’ve faced some hail-storms,

Walking alongside.

Sequoia and Slide Rock,

You dove in,

Positive optimist,

When I’m not,

In cold or in hot water,

Buoying each other up,

Walking alongside.

Beach to desert,

Nightmare two-hour drive,

You moved to marry me,

Leaving comfort zone,

It’s what we do for family,

Now it’s my turn,

Walking alongside.
