Old Couple Sitting on a Bench

Poetic thoughts

By Paul StewartPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Do you ever see a couple sitting on a bench, and wonder a little too much about what brought them to that point,

no not on the bench, but to that point in their lives, the highs the lows, the fast, the slow, the ups, the downs, the in and outs,

the soft shoe shuffle and raspy sernade, the hurtful words and painful tears, births, marriages, deaths, suicides,

rich meals, poor dinners, milky teas, black coffees and salty beers, the occasional affair,

the new job, new house, new car, overtime, remortgage, write-off, divorce, remarriage, reconnection, kids, grandkids, accusations, recriminations, celebrations, commiserations?
