You Breathe My Breath
When you live with someone for nearly fifty years it is as though you are one. Everything about you has been affected, adjusted and adapted as you learn to rub along. There is compromise but there is also symbiosis.
You have, not only a shared past, but share visions for the future.
Everything we do has been refined as we learn from each other. Both of us would be the less if the other were not there.
We have someone to share stories, bounce ideas off, to lean on and gain perspective, to share wisdom and see more objectively.
Two heads are always better than one. We see things from different angles. We have different strengths, different weaknesses.
Together we are stronger, more confident and better.
You cannot reach so high when you haven’t got a steady shoulder to lean on.
I am a better person.
You Breathe My Breath
You breathe my breath.
You read my mind.
You share my dreams
And all we find.
You wonder with me
And are safe and sound.
In the flood of life
We’re on higher ground.
You’re my safety line
Whenever I fall
That voice of sense
For me to recall.
You’re my compass
And my steering wheel
My fulcrum point
That makes life real.
All I am
Is because of you
All I am
Is because of you
All I am
All I am
