What is it with us?
In the same place all day,
Me playing croquet,
Mary doing the teas and coffees.
A match that lasted most of the day,
Great fun was had in the match,
A team of jovial players
Leading to a great time,
A great time on the lawns.
I would be with her between games
But we missed each other,
The closeness we have is indescribable.
We love each other so much
And need to be close,
Close with each other all the time.
Once we got home all was fine
We could be in each other’s arms
And cuddle the evening away.
We do not understand,
Not understand why we are like this.
Mary loved her David,
As I did my Joyce,
Married for many years
And they both passed,
Passed from this earth.
And then Mary and I met
And the love we have for each other
Is so different,
So unique and so strong.
We just do not understand,
A couple in their mid-seventies
Reacting like young people,
Young people in love,
And all we can say to each other
Is “I love you”
And that just does not seem enough,
Not seem enough for how we feel
How we feel about each other.
We just do not understand,
But it is wonderful.

Two old codgers that I adore. ❤️

Andy
If I may, may I say,
We reap what we sow...
Certainly very true 2781, we often wonder what good we have sown in the past to allow us to be so happy as we are with each other. Thank you.
Andy
It's my pleasure.
A codger good write Gold.
You and I are two codgers anyway of dinosaur age. lol.
A wife called hubby a dinosaur as he wouldn't use e-mail.
So true Orchi, thank you.
Andy
Lucky couple for sure!
We certainly are John, thank you for your kind words.
Andy
If you wanna be that close, let Mary do the teas and you do the coffees , then get her out there belting a poor innocent ball with a hammer like you do.....😅😂🤣
We always share making tea and coffee at home Dave.
She does belt a ball around as well, the other day she beat me in a game. LOL
Andy
I'd say you are very compatible with a balanced relationship going on there.
All the best.
Andy, you both are soulmates, it was meant to be. You are both blessed. 🌹 And your choice of song video is a particular favorite of mine. 😉
We certainly are AP, we often think about the same thing at the same time as well.
Thank you for your kind words.
Andy
