Holding hands, We stood at top of the world, the yellow sky, green mountains, Waterfalls, golden clouds, singing birds crossing the setting sun, and the soft breezing air running through our faces.
"How beautiful the world is," I said.
She smiled looking into my eyes, and holding me tight she laid her head upon my shoulder. How more beautiful can an evening be in a man's life? I held her tight and laid my head upon hers, and wished for an endless evening.
Now,
I am standing in the same place, with a walking stick in my hand, aged, with blurred eyes, toothless, half deaf, sick, and alone. The air passing through me reminded my old days, I removed my eyeglasses. It is hard to wipe tears with a shaking hand, but I did so. The view is blurred, but her beautiful smile is soo clear that I could see it even with my eyes closed. Not the world, it was her smile that kept me alive for every sunset I wished to see.
