Old Codgers Love Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



What have we done to get into this life,

Our love so strong we do not understand,

In our time together there is no strife

Within that short moment that has now spanned.

 

We have come together as if one soul

Feeling so alone when not together

Walking through our life in a gentle stroll

In our superb world full of fair weather.

 

At our old age we just don’t understand,

Both in our seventies had a good life,

We had lost passed loves in time that had spanned,

Mary lost her husband, I lost my wife.

 

Now us two old codgers live life’s new dream

With feelings of love in our life’s bright gleam.

                Very, very sweet you liked to render your tribute to love in a sonnet, Sir. How very beautiful this indeed is, forsooth. Rendered to effect with delicate sensitivity and fragile poignancy reigning throughout, decked with choice details and an accompaniment which is as ever too perfect, thank you so much for sharing.
