Two Old Rocking Chairs

Two old rocking chairs

sitting on the front porch

Cobwebs around the corner

Place hasn’t been swept in months

But this is where they sat

When the day came to an end

Watched the stars break through the night

As they talked about their kin

And reminisced about the good old days

Look at the yard where young boys played

And he just sighs

Turns to look at his love on his right side...

This is the house they built,

This is the place they lived their lives

And on that front porch

Many a day and night

They recognized that the days would come to an end

Reach out and take each other‘s hand

Side by side

Now they’re gone, but sometimes, late at night

If you look up to the skies

You’ll see a taste of heaven, and two stars shining extra bright
