He gently holds her arm
They tread cautiously to cross the street
Them ~ his cane her walker

In summertime, our love is Delicate, like lilly floating in the breeze;
In wintertime, our love is warm — it holding from sweet warm hands to toes under the trees;
If skies are blue, our love is tenderly — two people closer in the sun;
If thunder rolls our love is blessed, a refuge from the ever falling for rain;
When spring flowers bloom, our love is bold, like purple petals on the iris;
When autumn leaves fall, our love is golden, shining bright like a harvest your my sunrise;
From Valentine's Day till Christmas our love will continue to intensify;
From season to season I love you always! My one, my only, my darling love, My, My, oh My...
My darling my love I love you always

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©
The heart is a muscle yet
We use it as a symbol of
Love.
So protect it closely like a
hand in a glove.
We draw it on papers with
Cute little words to show
Our affection
But on rare occasion we
Are thrown a nasty rejection
Love is delicate and needs
To grow between to souls
It can tear you up or it
Can make you whole
Treat love when you find it
As the greatest treasure
Of all time
Because it may be the last
You see of it's kind
Love is a rarity in these
Hectic days
So When you find it make
Sure it stays
Respect what the word
Love stands for
In the end it will come
Knocking on your door
