Retire and Be My Love

Come along retire, travel with me Be my love in places we've not seen We'll travel around the world our home Roaming those valleys and mountains tall Our love won't wane only grow__untame We will have all our pleasures anew Every moment treasure other Whilst each day brings us new sunrises Each one more glorious__ exciting If these pleasures seem your heart to move Come be my love in our latter life In passage over the ocean blue We'll travel see the world anew__dream Dreams that our imagination schemes (Parody of "The Passionate Shephard To His Love" by Christopher Marlowe (1564- 1593) for Dr. Ram's contest.)

Thank you for this wonderful poem, this is my dream for retirement if it ever comes...traveling alone together and love in later life is so ripe, so rewarding - great work!
