Memories

โ€œOh,
just one last look, dear,
another glimpse?
Fifty years of memories come and gone
Today
โ€ฆit ends.โ€

Wife sniffles into her tissue.

โ€œOur home. All of this.
Stupid bankruptcy.โ€

Husband wipes her crying eyes
with tired hands
fighting his own tears
with hopeful smiles

โ€œWe'll never forget our memories here.
They'll join the next
from all our new adventures
to come.

                      weโ€™ll be okayโ€ฆโ€

He whispers, holding her close.

โ€œWe'll be okay.โ€

    A heartbreaking situation people sometimes find themselves in. Times are tough and money isn’t easy to come by like it used to be. Yet having someone to stand by you when things go wrong is a blessing. Really powerful poem.
