Couple’s Restaurant

On a quiet street corner tucked behind some trees

Lies a restaurant full of memories of love and laughter  

Clinking dishes, muted voices

Warm fresh bread and 

Sweet hot coco 

Young lovers sit in a corner 

Fondly caressing each other’s hands

As they blissfully talk of their future plans

High pitched screams and clunking plates

Come from the middle

As couple with four children sit and eat

Between the children’s cries and screams

The couple find time to fondly caress each other’s hands  

Quiet laughter, tinkling silverware  

Resonate from the side 

As an old couple sit side by side

They gaze into each other’s eyes 

And remember the years long gone by

Grateful for time together the two elders 

Share a kiss and loving look 

As they fondly caress each other’s hands

And this is what life, love and happiness look like
