Grow older, glow golder;
my white haired bright star.
Through your lines and wrinkles,
you twinkle and shine.
True love’s immortal soul,
when lust is dust, lives on;
warm in the bed of friendship
our hearts ever entwined.

This was going to be a short poem on the 'Short Poem' Forum thread but I thought perhaps it was too long to be a 'short poem'. JoHn

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

That's a great compliment. Thank you,julie. So many young people are getting married today only to get divorced again after a few years because they only think about the 'short term'. Weddings have become a massive industry and alot of young women are just thinking about having 'dream weddings'. What ever happened to 'enduring love'? 'till death do us part'? It's a very beautiful idea but it seems to have gone out of style. JoHn

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Thanks, Chinobus. I'm very influenced by doggerel; traditional phrases; nursery rhymes, proverbs and such. JoHn

new well-wisher I entirely agree,with what you say. But my belated pop from big family,eight nothing taught me how can people live to-gether different backgrounds and lives. We have a lovely m daughter. Have to live with someone know them well. He would say there lives hectic in many ways and us. Know the saying take two to tango, might work. True been married many years, but if only learn't and know what I know now? so many bridges to cross,had too, and many unexpected things, good bad. But so costly now a wedding. thanks some, not prepared work at all circumstances the world changed now don't you think, material world. Must have's haven't got. Happiness must come from within two might blend to-gether. No one is better or cleverer. julie
