Love In the Afternoon

Love in the afternoon 
She was a young heart in dawn of bloom 
He was an old heart in brink of doom 
But she adored him like the golden moon 

His presence sparked her flame 
He's like a sun in its gleaming beam 
For, he was her ultimate dream 
And she was caught in a serious game 

He was her first love 
Though she was not his first 
But he was the quench of her thirst 
Like her rain of bliss from up above 

And her true love saved his life 
Like an armor against a piercing blade 
It was for him that she was made 
And he was thankful she was his wife

I like this one, Roger. Love knows nothing of age or any other boundary. Nicely penned!
