Never need a cane

Little old woman
shriveled and humped
being guided
and held up
by her little old man
No questions asked
but love in its walking and talking form
for however long it lasts
hopefully forever
or until the end of their times.

I pray
that I have it
forever
and
another day.

So some other child of the world
will see
how beautiful
love and age can be.

And no one will ever need a wooden cane again...
