The Very Thought of You

There we’ll be.  Strolling
in the park, holding hands.
Enjoying the company of
one another, laughing ‘til
we’re out of breath.

There we’ll be.  Sitting in
front of a fire on a cold
night, snuggling together.
Sitting in contentment
and never needing more.

There we’ll be.  You in black,
me in white.  We’ll kiss and
they’ll applaud.  We’ll make
speeches to one another,
declaring our everlasting love.

There we’ll be.  Fighting
over whose turn it was to
do the dishes.  Making up,
knowing that what we have
won’t be broken so easily.

There we’ll be.  Staying up
all night with the crying.
Teaching our children how
to ride a bike, how to spell.
Reading them stories at night.

There we’ll be.  In the stands,
cheering when they cross that
stage.  Helping them move into
their dorms and find their way
around their new home.

There we’ll be.  Old and wrinkly,
but still together.  Making jokes
and sitting together on a porch,
laughing over fond memories.
Smiling when grand-kids come.

There we’ll be.  And I can’t wait
to be there with you.

Nice! great cadence through out with the "There we'll be" Line. Really nice write with a nice solid message. A message that has been done a million times but you were able to make it your own good work

Thanks! I tried tons of stuff, but the anaphora seemed to work the best. Glad you liked it!
