Anchor

In our harbor
Of retirement when
A storm rages we depend
On our anchor and chain to hold
Us safe away from the rocky shore
Each link in the chain is the love
Of family friends and those we
Love who love us always even
If we cannot be with them
They anchor us safe in
Storms which other
Wise would pile
Us onto the
Rocky
Coasts of
Life so I am
Grateful for my
Absent ones who
Give me reason to
Live because of the
Love we share, for my
Life and happiness are
The memories we made.
I love them always fiercely
Yet tenderly held in embrace.
Let the waves pound the winds
Roar ropes sing, but we are safe.
And for you my love a memory
Cherished you are never far
From my mind and often
In my thoughts so dear
To me I yearn for one
More kiss one more
Embrace to hold
You close to me
Forevermore
Together
Safe at
Anchor.
