Look to the Helpers


her gaze confused, looking straight ahead, husband arm in arm with her
couple's last vacation
doing everything as before one last time
watching the Caribbean Sea, all of her beauty is pristine
she's looking to horizon of her life, perfect concentration
a marriage of 50 years,that has no infinity, of which both are aware
validation and affirmation of love between these two mortal souls
gentle artists of life's beauty still painting and sculpting the moments the best they can
brave acts of helping her with steps and balance, keeping her safe until the end
watchful eyes of partners and helping hands forever caring and hoping for the best...
..for each other, for each other
memories of many past vacations filled with love, of family and moments of joy only 2 can share
she turns to him and says,  "I think I remember you from somewhere."
