Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

The Older I Get

The older I get, the more love I possess
Busting down the walls of my heart
Invading the very depth of my soul
Can't survive when we two are apart

Special affair, hasn't happened
In the history of this passionate man
Without a doubt the first time for me
A deviation in my life's master plan

Certainly wish the same for you all
There's no greater feeling I've known
Always wake up with a great big smile
Coz all of my troubles have flown

Wish everybody could feel this joy
These feelings I've not felt before
Hard to survive each time we're apart
My faith in true love you've restored

The older I get, the more love I need
This strong craving never subsides
It's all that we humans live and die for
The passion that true love provides

Tom Cunningham December 13, 2023 at 10:14 AM We certainly become wiser as we get older Jack and realise what's really important in our lives. Hope your day is going well.
