The chair.

dianejean57 1957 (Swansea, MA)



The chair.

If I could not walk and had to live in a chair, Would you still love me anyway? If I could not greet you at the door, cook your meals, or mop the floor, Would you still love me anymore? If I could not see or hear you when you were near, Would you still love me? Would you care? Yes, I would still love you if you had all those things. I will always be by your side on my knees. So as long as your heart still beats, I would still love you anyway, even more than the day before.
