To the Companion

Dear companion,
Thanks for rowing along,
the boat of life
that carries you and me,
and so many of our dreams.
Whenthe sun dims and sets
thanks for being there to contemplate.
Nature is rude.
It makes me think of life without you.
But then, dear companion.
I cherish your presence.
My love for you has grown immense.
I vow to dive into you,
create moments that I can treasure
that you can treasure
for the day death preludes.
