My Wife

My Wife


She elderly now, but wear colourful clothes,
I sat outside the store saw her trying on 
outrageous coats that didn’t fit for her age,
she bought one and a red, jaunty beret. 
She has a hip problem and limp slightly, but 
this little defect is not a hindrance for her.
She is every bit the woman I met forty years 
ago, impossible, unreasonable, yet I love her
more now than ever before; time shall not 
make her old.
