Old Codgers Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



Like loves young dream

She came into my life

Her smile such a glorious gleam

It cut me like a knife.

 

Us two became like one

Never falling apart

And having so much fun

We stole each other’s heart.

 

Our love became so strong

That increased every second

To each other we now belong

With a love that had beckoned.

 

Us old codgers cannot believe it

In our seventies with love we were hit.

                      I've waited the twelve hours of my shift and now finally after, now I'm home, to listen to your superb accompaniment which was bound to suit your proffer lines. Ooh! You've a gift and blessing which cannot be bought, methinks, and how sweet it is to listen to you describe and delineate what you two lovebirds know so well. I love it! Thank you for sharing!

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank you very much for your lovely words Missy, very much appreciated.

                      • Dan Williams

                        I am nearly overcome with jealousy. Fate decided I would spend these last years alone, Oh well. Nice work.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Sorry to hear that Dan, I thought the same when my wife Joyce died we were married for 38 years but I was so lucky when Mary came into my life a couple of years later.
                          We never know what our future will bring.
