Their fingers touched so gently

You really could not tell

The thoughts that passed between them

As if it were a spell

You may have seen them often

Strolling around the town

But now their gait is slower

At eating up the ground

Although you did not know them

They always gave a smile

And bid to you good morning

While stopping for a while

They’d sit upon a long bench

Surveying all the shops

As people rush on by them

With scarce a glance to spot

A look would passed between them

That gently seemed to say

Thank God we’ve got each other

To pass away the day
