Something Grown Together

Something grown together An agreement Whether or no the weather is hot or freezing Until the day of bereavement Something known forever A convergence Of lifelines and lifetimes full of wonderings And longings and searchings Commitment and devotion An adventure A kiss to span the oceans When in sickness When healthy, tired, or injured Energy and passion An investment Entering on to a path intertwined Laughing, crying, and learning lifelong lessons Something grown together Something grown together Something grown together Like branches of a banyan tree Deeply rooted in family Giving life to a canopy Much more than a crush More than a brush with where happenstance is standing Compatible hearts like Raggedy Ann and Andy Bump, bump Bump, bump But the beat changes up when he sees her Takkity, takkity, taka-taka-taka-taka Takity, takity Can't believe the rhythm is so in sync And that isn't their only strength They were hummin' a tune The sun and the moon They didn't know what to think But they were pleased to see these two young souls become mates To provide light for a song that was sung right in one take Because there's no need to rehearse when you and your partner get in the zone And you can't memorize words you've always known Something grown together An agreement Whether or no the weather is hot or freezing Until the day of bereavement Something known forever A convergence Of lifelines and lifetimes full of wonderings And longings and searchings Commitment and devotion An adventure A kiss to span the oceans When in sickness When healthy, tired, or injured Energy and passion An investment Entering on to a path intertwined Laughing, crying, and learning lifelong lessons
