Something New

Something New

My late wife and I lived together

For over twenty years

It was a charmed romance

In many ways

When you know someone that long,

You've heard pretty much

Everything they have to say

About a dozen times over

But whenever Laino and I talked

There was an endless summer in her voice

And what she had to say

Just never got old to my ears

My time with her helped me learn

That every single day

Really is something that is fresh

And although you see and hear

The same sort of things over and over again

If your love for them is soul deep

Each passing day forever remains

Something new
