Together

Wallace Dean LaBenne

In joy or sorrow can we still borrow
One more tomorrow ... together?
Often or ever, seldom or never
How shall we measure ... together?
We travel along each singing a song
But do we belong ... together?
Both wanting our way at night and all day
Then why do we stay ... together?
Each doing our thing, attached by some string
Is that why we cling ... together?
Question and answer, stay or to transfer
Love in what manner ... together?
Now and forever, or shall we sever
Bonds that we treasure ... together?
With joy and sorrow can we still borrow
One more tomorrow ... together?
