Test of Love

When bodies cease
 To emit jasmine’s fragrance
When lips aren’t rosebuds
Old age, season to test
The love of those you loved

    Thanks for your thought provoking comments filled with vision and wisdom. No doubt old age divulges the true meaning of love in all its depth and quality. It is indeed a new dawn

    Thanks for your compliments. Old age is the time to judge whether your near and dear ones really loved you. If you are the lucky one they do.
