Music Friday Prompt #16: “Rattlin’ Bones” performed by Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson and Wordle 117

by brenda warren

Hopefully Forever
We met in the lab a long time ago
Every time we see each other we glow
We became friends and then lovers
We became each other’s anchors

Even though you said I’m still a mystery
And we know that life is not always peachy
Together we experienced with lots of things
We don’t have to be kings and we fly with our wings

We’ve made lots of mistakes, we fought, we argued
But we always enjoy cooking and eating our food
Always sweeter the second time around, after the tiff
We like to challenge ourselves by climbing up the cliff

We’re taking notes on the lessons we’re learning
And we know that life is short and we’re ageing
Even translating to something we both can understand
We were brought up in two totally different homelands

And if we detect something fishy, we tell each other
When we are together we glow with a gentle lustre
We give it a rest sometimes, as in space for each one
We know that we are each other’s universe and the sun

And we’re in this together through thick and thin
Sometimes we joke that we’re like a twin
In sickness and in health, we’re together
Hopefully forever, we make each other better
