Growing Old Together

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. Steven Beesley (c) 2006-02-02

I like the scenes you have painted. That's really what love is all about from a simple and undemanding perspective. A very touching poem.
