The years have slowed us down quite a bit

Yard needs tending and the house needs repairs

It’s tough to find time to do all these things

To even find time that we two can share

Bedroom doors are broken, falling from frame

The paint, it is chipping in the living room walls

The floors, they are squeaking so very loud

From the kitchen to the bedrooms down the hall

The gutter out back is sagging, destroyed

As trees offer more leaves this upcoming fall

Basement needs cleaning from the flood we just had

And spackle is needed for the holes in the wall

However we must say or rather see what is true

Be it here or wherever in life we may roam

That, though the house may be falling apart

Together, my love, we have made a fine home
