Togetherness Takes On New Meaning Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Years of working, toiling, taking care of families, enjoying
some leisure when able, continues throughout life.

When near it's ending, time spent together takes on new meaning,
bringing couples to an understanding that life has changed some
how.

Now sitting side by side, playing cards silently, not much need
for talking, because they've spent conversations over the
passing years.

Doing whatever little things they can for one another, to make
life easier on the last leg of their journeys.
