Enduring Love

Woman, while you lie beside me,
comfortable in my arms;
our older bodies know a gentler love,
the kind that can take its time.

Every day counts as a blessing,
and we know that less is more,
let’s then live and love each other,
in the remnants of our measured time.

Seeing you through the eyes of love,
I see the girl that’s always there,
and while time may trap us in memory,
the past is past – there is only here;

Until one of us is left behind,
when time itself will close the door,
one side of which will be the one bereft,
a continuance of life in memories left.

My dear the night is passing,
and the dawn is drawing near;
so, sleep on safe in my arms,
until the light becomes clear.

Hi Dougie

You can delete this extra copy yourself - click on the edit tab at the top, and there is a delete button at the foot of the page.

It's a lovely poem .. getting to that sort of age myself.

Beaten to it by Claudine, she posted at exactly the same time as me !

Sometimes sentimental is good, sometimes lovely is the right word. Like here.
That's why this is our Pick of the Day.
