Hello once again! I'm on a roll this week. It always feels good when the creativity bug bites and the words flow freely.
Week 21 was age. What came to mind for me was one of my favorite things: seeing an older couple walking hand in hand out in public. Every time I witness this, my heart fills with joy. It's a truly beautiful sight. That is essentially what my response is about.
Thank you Brenda!
True Love
There's nothing sweeter
than an old couple
walking hand in hand
still in love
after all those years.
From a time
when forever
was a word of value
and vows weren't said lightly.
A treasure to hold dear,
something to aspire to.
Building a life.
Raising a family.
Experiencing joys,
holding each other tightly
through trials and tribulations.
As beauty fades,
friendship only grows stronger.
A true partner.
There's nothing sweeter
than witnessing
this strength of love
than perhaps
living it yourself.
