Love In Graying Days

For what seemed like an eternity, I felt love was lost for me,
Never again to feel a woman's soft touch, looking into her eyes,
A kiss so passionate that you feel sensuous chills on your body,
Such simple pleasures as holding hands or laying on the couch,

As I aged, my mind was feeling as my body was, old and useless,
Love had left never to return and I knew that passion was cold, gone,
Will I ever find someone again, will love grace me with it's present,
I resigned my feelings to, this is the time of life that we become alone,

Being somewhat a renaissance man, could not forget the love of a woman,
Fate stepped in and over coffee and tea, in mid-winter my life was transformed,
For I met a woman that only once in a lifetime can you truly love and cherish,
The hidden evil feelings in my past have melted away as dew on a red rose,

Long flowing silver hair, soft hazel eyes, soft lips, a woman of classic beauty,
Truly a woman of substance in mind and body, affections and passion abound,
Shall we say two lonely spirits finding one another in mind, body and inner soul,
From that mid-winters day our relationship has nurtured, nourished us both fully,

For love in the graying days is without a doubt much more gratifying than before,
The kisses, the touches, the smiles, the twinkle in the eyes seeing each other,
Time is no concern for we are together and all we have is time, to enjoy our life,
When your hair is turning gray, love like fine wine is better savored slowly each day.

For Bonnie, I love You.
