we grasp lapels of warming fur
Saying our goodbyes at each passing smile

Steps are quickened as we see

from the loving hands we know

Seeing the loving smile and outstretched arms
that greet us each ending day
We'd slow our steps into a walk
pretending to look the other way

Though heavy laden with the day's full bore
