Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Would You Still Fall For Me

Let me just throw this out your way
If we met today, this late in the game
Would you still fall for me
With the ways that I have changed

Not just the thinning of the hair
Or the more attitude of really don't care
Where the older that I get
There's much less finesse and no visible flair  

With the conversations that run dry
As I nod along with that glare in my eyes
I know that you love me
But if we met today would you give me a try

The way I ask where the hidden things are
From what's in front of me in the fridge
to the keys to my car 
And my never ending Honey do list
That's fairly unused as I've never gotten that far

Over the years I've grown on you gradually
So I know in the distance that bell still rings
But if we met today, this late in the game
I wonder, would you still fall for me

Daniel Turner June 29, 2017 at 9:47 AM Yes Mike, this is a very touching write. I suspect she would say yes every time, ESPECIALLY knowing now what she knows:) GREAT write!

Cheryl Hoffman June 29, 2017 at 8:15 AM This is so sweet Mike; reminds me of that old Beatle song, "Would you still need me, would you still feed me, when I'm 64?!?" Very nice and thought provoking; really does make one wonder!~Che :)
