Race for Love.

Goldfinch60

Our life together goes on,

Together all these many years,

That love we found so very long ago

Was so strong,

And through our life together

Has got so much stronger.

We have been through many things,

The good has always outweighed the bad,

And our love has never failed us.

 

I look back from old age and wonder,

Would we have done anything different?

Would we have run our life in the same way?

Then as I sit here in contentment,

I sit and realise,

Realise that the race for life

Through which we have come,

Is a race that we have already won.

        A fine write. Not that we 'give up' when we get older, but I can't get all 'ambitious' now! Not that I always had a lot of spark when younger. Ohh, get me my carpet slippers and pipe, and I will sit by the fire in me dressing gown'. Well, we're millions of years old, so we say! Tee Hee.
        Well, not the pipe - smoking is bad for us!

          I suppose you'll be supping sherry then.

          • orchidee

            Oops! I forgot the sherry. How could I forget it?!

          • orchidee

            Was the race over for us two about 5 million years ago?! Or in 1066, when I made that blunder?!

            • Goldfinch60

              We are still in the race but much slower now and more contented with our lot.

              There will be one race that never ends . When over the horizon our spirit to send .
              Happy now ? Just wait til then .

              • Goldfinch60

                Once we are with our Spirit there will be no need to race.
