Till Death Do Us Part

Century after century

She whispered to him as they tucked in the kids “I love you”

Year after year

She waved their youngest off to college and whispered “I love you”

Month after month

She started using a cane to walk, but still reminded him “I love you”

Week after week

From her bed she called to him “I love you”

Day after day

After the grandchildren left for school she whispered, “I love you”

Hour after hour

Behind her mask she gasped, “I love you”

Minute after minute

She smiled as he took her hand and sighed, “I love you”

Second after second

He whispered, “I love you too”
