Together

See that sun in the morning,
Peeking over that hill?
I'll bet you're sure it always has
and sure it always will.
That's how I feel about someone;
How someone feels about me.
We're sure we love each other.
That's the way we'll always be.

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money.
Maybe we're ragged and funny.
But we'll travel along
Singing a song
Side by side.

Don't know what's coming tomorrow.
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow.
But we'll travel the road
Sharing the load
Side by side.

Through all kinds of weather.
What if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we're together,
It doesn't matter at all.

When they've all had their quarrels and parted
We'll be the same as we started
Just a-traveling along
Singing a song.
Side by side.

These lyrics to this well-known ditty speak about two people I know so well--my parents. They have lived this song for 46 years today. Today is their wedding anniversary. Their marriage has seen many tough times, but they are still together and always will be. Never was a couple more suited for each other. Whether it's washing dishes, pushing a wheelbarrow full of mulch, gardening, or just sitting on the couch after a long day, they are always together. Neither one does much without the other one in tow.

How many couples can say that today? Most married couples can't wait to get rid of the other for a few hours or days so they can do whatever they want. My parents are the exception to that norm. They have been and always will be together!
