Life Partner

His steps synchronized
with mine immediately
after we met.
I laughed at his jokes
and after 40+ years
still find him funny.
His hands exude
the strength to move
mountains if I ask him,
yet gentle enough
to caress my face.
He offers many kisses,
like a spring rain,
for the littlest of things.
A conversation
that never wanes.
Plans for the future,
a regular practice,
since we still seek adventure
to make this existence
interesting and worthwhile
as we journey
this lifetime together.
