Bidding Loneliness Adieu
A lovely story may begin
when single searchers whisper “Yes”
to that sweet call for yearning hearts
to claim their chance at happiness.
The season and our time of life
was autumn. When we met, we knew
the future was a time for us
to bid our loneliness adieu.
The simple things that we enjoy--
October walks, a gentle kiss,
a quiet meal, a loving touch--
are parts of our own special bliss.
Our love and friendship keep us strong,
for words and deeds go hand in hand.
We found we’re not too old to love
and grow. Our lives are never bland.
