Growing Old Together.

by Steven Beesley   Feb 2, 2006


Growing Old Together:

Looking through the photographs,
of ten thousand memories ago;
it still seems like yesterday
even though today I am old.

I still remember the first
time we met, I froze
and stood so still!
So afraid that you would turn and go.

Then you smiled and said hello.
I was so very lost for
words and completely dazzled
by the sight of you.

The years have come and gone
since our first hello, yet every
single day will pass and I'm still
head over heels in love with you.

Wrinkles and scars they appear,
but that's not what I see.
I still see that lovely girl I
fell in love with so many years ago.

Gracefully we journey and
together we will grow old, I would
not want it any other way. Loving
you always even till the day I have to go.

    What a beautiful story of love. Excellent imagery. Superbly written.

    you always even till the day I have to go.

    This stanza touched me so deeply.
    Take care Cindy

    You have a magnificent flow in your poems. Very easy to read. I loved this one.

    The theme of growing old together, well that chokes me up when I think of my grandparents.
    When grandpa passed away, my granny just stood there, looked at him, and I could have sworn, she smiled a bit.

    She must have been thinking something like this poem. She loved him so much and misses him a lot, and like in your poem, looks at the pictures and remembers.
    Thank you Mr. Bee
