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.

You're welcome Andy
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.
Thank you for your wonderfully kind words Missy, very much appreciated.
