As pebbles tossed reach ocean’s floor,
which ripple seeks the farthest shore?
Though humbly voiced, a simple whim
shall not remain unnoticed, dim.
While pleasures shared grow dearer still,
two hearts’ true love warms winter’s chill.
As shadows lengthen, hours succumb;
each life shall tabulate its sum.
Sweet memories remaining strong
encompass years slipped by too long.
Reflecting on life’s mirrored days,
small flaws seem then but castaways.
