She Stepped Outside

When She Stepped Outside

When she stepped outside
She never looked around
Noticed nothing, stars, moon nor sky
The only thing she noticed
Was the glaring sun
But even then she was blinded
If only by love!

When he stepped outside
He saw it all
Moonlight, blue sky
And the Northern Star
And when they met
Point them out he did
Showed her the beauty
That she had missed

But with the moon, stars and the sky
He showed her more
He showed her his heart
Opened it to her
He gave it willingly
To have it kept safe
More than anything

So she stepped outside
And looked around
And saw the beauty
That was there all the time
And for 60 years
She had his heart
And she did keep it safe
More than anything

For life they cherished
In sun and chill
When they stepped outside
Everyday a thrill
And when his passing came
She kept the beauty he had taught

Next time she stepped outside
She took it all in.
She looked around,
Looked in her heart.
And knew they would be forever
Never be apart.
