Topsy-Turvy

Marrying young, children
Arrive quickly
No time for just you and me
It was always the family
Now they are all grown
So many years of events
Like a spinning top with
Its rainbow of colors
Pivoting on its tiny pin
We circled our lives
Yours and mine swirling
About in activity centered
Upon children and family
One by one they left us
Spinning with the changes
Now we choose to make
Our own movement
Spinning to our tune
You and I together
Our time our space
Our colors turning into
Warm shades of love
That years have embraced.
