ode to an older couple m

on a bench by the lake

the two of them sat smiling,

exchanging silly glances

with smirks that wre beguiling!!

she without shoes,swung her feet

laughing as the grass tickles toes,

he put his head to hers

and whispered....i love you so!!

she bent her head down and

said playfully,kicking her shoe,

the years have passed on by

but my heart is still with you!!

i sat and watched these two

under blue of sky and warm sun,

wondering how a love like theirs

can still be fresh and young!!

yet others who have tried this road

have failed so in youth and years,

to leave only broken hearts behind

and a trail of sorrow and tears.

do i ask what their secret is

or do i quietly watch them play,

for it lifts my heart to see such love

on a beautiful springtime day!!



there were two senior lovers in the park yesterday,giddy and laughing,it reminded me of rosemarys post about her two friends who are still acting like teenagers!! maybe they take extra strength geritol!!anyway thought i would share.have a great memorial day ladies!!((hugs))mindy

What a sweet ode, Mindy! (Could it be that they're married to others & having an fling? Just kidding...I want to believe that they've been married to each other for 60 years!) You really have a talent; I enjoy your inspired thoughts & always look forward to them.

Hope your holiday week-end has been nice, too! Cal

That's lovely, Mindy. Are you sure they are "long-time" married? Might be the second time around - new love! Ah - fun to imagine. Rosemary
