AT OUR AGE!!

Goldfinch60



What is it we have got,

Two old fogies in love,

A love that is so strong,

So strong it is hard to be apart,

Hard to be apart from each other.

Every time we are apart,

Even for a couple of hours,

We each miss each other.

Where has this love come from?

We just do not understand,

Two old fogies in love

And with some of the things we do,

The things we do so often,

The thought comes to us,

“AT OUR AGE!”

    Age shall not weary them Nor the sciatic nerve condemn

      Us two are VERY old fogies! lol.
      If you were not a fogey, you might reply 'Speak for yourself Orchi!'

      • Goldfinch60

        We certainly are Orchi.

        "We just do not understand," - That line, please eliminate. It occurs far too often in your poetry about your current relationship.
        What to understand? you both are in love, feel yourself lucky and get on with it .
        And the best of British luck!!! 😇

        • Goldfinch60

          But it is so very true Dave, we just do not understand how strong our love for each other has and is becoming.

          Thank you.

                    Hi, I think it's great to be loved no matter the age. I stopped ones from loving me at an early age (40's) because I have RA and knew I'd be limited.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you Eileen, such a shame about your problems, I hope you are ok though.

                      You're not the only ones G. My girlfriend and I are in our mid 80s and enjoying life to the fullest as we support each other on our respective journeys. Love your poem.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        That is great hz, may that love be forever strong.
