Rose Colored Glass

He sees the rose that's sprinkled in her cheeks She sees the cracks in looking glass He sees the soft brunette of her shining hair She sees dull wisps of grey, she cannot manage He sees the shine and twinkle in her soft blue eyes She sees her reflection through corrective lenses He sees her running through the garden to greet him She feels the pain, as she walks with her cane to meet him He holds the soft, smooth hand that wears a simple golden band She feels him squeeze her weathered, gnarled, vein ridden hand He sees the girl he met and loved at seventeen She sees the love of her life He sees through rose colored glasses She adores him ....................................................................................................................................... Dedicated to my grandparents

Isn't it wonderful to have people in your life who will always see you as young and beautiful? Grandparents tend to view their grandchildren this way, but it's even more special when someone your own age sees you as never changing. Truly a wonderful, uplifting poem! Love, Carolyn
