the couple next door, just like us,
they desired, they loved;
they lived, they died
they inherited ways and thoughts
they grew up and studied, and worked;
they met, they loved,
they made lives together
struggled and celebrated
and paid for things they needed, or did not
and worked for home and children;
they were not saints, though no one came to harm
they were ordinary, as good or just like any other;
and they saw their children do the same thing
and saw the new little ones grow
and they themselves aged and they died;
today they are a memory
in photo albums and at dinner conversations:
in private circles mystified
and in family revered…
the couple next door, just like us,
they desired, they loved;
they lived, they died
