Lil and Frank

True Story


My hubby's aunt was ninety three
Spry and full of energy

Lost her man of sixty years
Remembered all the joy and tears

Retirement living she could thank
For meeting up with new beau Frank

Her new mate was ninety five
"Hey, she said I'm still alive!'

Lil and Frank have set the stage
Love can flourish at any age

Hand in hand they share their love
Until the call from up above..

This poem reminded me of my husband's grandmother....who after years of widowhood, married at age 85 to a fellow in the same care home!! Her daughter (my mother-in-law) suddenly had two older folks to look after until their passing! Got a little complicated, but Yes...love at any age can blossom!! ~Carrie
