Over The Hill

How much we love each other An anniversary surprise Pictured Rocks Your gift to me despite your fear of heights Let me take your photo Back up you say Take it all in from First date to first grand baby That woman just one of many That woman you talk to late into the nights she is seconds Our love is decades Cool sandstone heavy No one understands How much I love you In this our marriage Indian summer What we have weathered Ribbons of iron ore red, copper green, and limonite revel Our love is stone polished Back up a little more baby you say You send me to the edge I’d go to the edge for us My knee the one that always gives me troubles gives out I stumble back My hand that has reached for yours In the dark When I’m afraid For years stretches out now I reach, you run You kick, I drop Like a stone Tumbling to the pebbled shore far below No one understands How much you love me
