Place your age in a basket

‘cause there ain’t no more space

to use --- you’ve

already gathered up your share.

 

I’ve seen sunshine and rain

from early shine

to a slumbering mood

yolk of sun trying to change my mind

but reality drops in

staying well beyond its due --

 

kids growing and grown up

memories just a photo shop blur

my body with aches and pains

still loving you.

Hi Richard,

It's nice to know love can survive,  even into old age.  Those special memories that you hold dear can last a life time.

Really enjoyed reading this poem.

I thank you so much, Jenny. Yes, love can last forever regardless of age. I suggest all couples not to wait too long to tell each other what they mean to each other, because life as we know it can end so quickly. We just visited our brother-in-law who has Alzheimer's and I can hardly believe how quickly he went from mild dementia to not even knowing his wife or anyone for that matter. All the best.
