Live In Your Love

I watched 

your rough

hands

give

over your

lifes

work

and my

heart dropped.

All the scars

on your neck

told 

of the survivor

you really

are.

I needed to 

do this.

But not for

the reasons

you think.

I should

have done

it for the money.

I should

have done

it for the growth.

For the 

bottom line. 

But I did

not.

I did it because

as the years

go 

by you will

no longer 

be remembered.

Your life's 

work

will disappear.

The same

will happen

to us.

But I will

give you

the gift

of time.

Even if its only

a couple years.

when your

footsteps are 

forgotten

you will

live on in

the hum

of your 

machine.

The hum

of what you 

once loved

will

be heard

and it 

will 

be 

a reminder

to live.

Live 

in your love.
