"Still Holding On”

by Bob3160’s - ChatGPT AI co-writer

We’ve watched the sun rise,

And we’ve watched it set—

Through seasons of laughter,

And moments we’d rather forget.

The porch is quieter now,

The photos a bit more worn,

But your hand in mine

Still feels like coming home.

Love didn’t fade—

It simply grew still,

Rooted in time,

By grace and will.

So here we sit,

Two souls, one song—

Not looking back,

Just still holding on.

Love - It’s what makes life worth living.

Not pensions - Not possessions.

Not how many gadgets you owned or how sharp your memory still is.

It’s the glance across the room that still gives you butterflies.

The warm hand next to yours, weathered by time - but still holding on.

Love lingers - In the smell of an old sweater.

In the photo that makes you smile and ache at the same time.

In the laughter of grandkids who have kids of their own now.

Yes, the house may be quieter,

but oh… the echoes are sweet.

Love isn’t flashy anymore.

It doesn’t come with roses or fancy dates.

Sometimes it’s just sitting in the same room - Not saying much

But knowing, without a doubt, you are home.

It’s your partner bringing you coffee the way you like it.

Even if they forget why they walked into the kitchen.

It’s the friend who still calls you every Tuesday — even if they’ve told you the same story six times.

(And you’ve loved it every time.)

Love is showing up.

Over the years. Through loss. Through moves. Through wrinkles and heartaches.

It’s forgiveness when memory fades.

It’s patience when tempers flare.

It’s choosing, again and again, to stay close - even when you have every reason to drift apart.

It’s not about youth.

Love isn’t something that expires.

If anything — it deepens.

It’s stronger in hands that have held sorrow,

And hearts that still beat for someone, even after a goodbye.

They call it the “golden years.”

But let me tell you:

It’s not gold in the wallet that matters…

It’s the gold in your heart.

Because in the end…

It’s not the years in your life.

It’s the love in your years.

Love is the legacy.

It’s what we leave behind in the eyes of those we’ve touched.

It’s the stories they’ll tell when we’re gone.

It’s the warmth they’ll feel when they think of us.

So love - Even now - Especially now.

Laugh louder - Hug longer.

Say what needs saying - Don’t wait.

Because love — Is still what makes life worth living.
