Opening And Closing

When they were young and dating, he,

after holding

open many

doors for her, laughed

and said, “Have you forgotten how

to open doors?”

She laughed too and

over the years

they opened many doors for each

other. Now, after

fifty years, he

opened one final

door for her and she passed through.
