Test of Love

When bodies cease
 To emit jasmine’s fragrance
When lips aren’t rosebuds
Old age, season to test
The love of those you loved

Our young love changes to a deeper more comfortable love but a love that makes us realize that we did not know much about love in our youtht..Enjoyed reading your great expressive work..Sara

Thanks for your thought provoking comments filled with vision and wisdom. No doubt old age divulges the true meaning of love in all its depth and quality. It is indeed a new dawn
