Ageless

The gray-haired feel as blessed on sunny days as those as yet untouched by Time's harsh ways. Spring rains transform the earth from brown to green for young and old and all those in-between. Like nature, love is powerful. Its part in every life thrives deep within the heart. Romance exists not only for the young. Love's words don't fall just from the youthful tongue. The seasoned love can be as strong and sweet, though stimulated less by passion's heat. The rose is sweet in smooth or wrinkled hand, as is the worn or shiny wedding band.

Much thought has gone into this poem Janice. It shows. Nature and its effect used as a metaphor for how love can change over time is clever. My take on your poem: Love encompasses all. In later years love may still run deep - deeper in fact - but it just may be conveyed differently. I read a quote somewhere, some time back which basically alluded to the idea that to see an elderly couple holding hands is proof that true love exists. :) Cheers - Gary
