There is a couple in my building...he is in his 70's and she is 65...they live across the hall from each other and just recently got engaged...He is a big strong farm boy and she is just little...I just love to watch them...it gives me hope that love can find us any time...I hope you enjoy my dedication to them....


Twilight Love
Dedicated to Goldie and Paul)

I love to sit and watch them
His eyes dancing with delight
Her’s soft gazing into his
Her hand now showing a gem

I see tender touch of arm
Finding such a love is rare
Twilight love that inspires
Strong arms keeping her from harm

In golden years they both are
Experience brings knowledge
They treasure one another
They share an evening star

Love has made them young again
Taking joy in simple things
Refreshing as a spring rain
Each other they now sustain

He and she are joined as one
Their future blessed from above
As one they now walk forward
Into life of twilight love

Thank you for posting this, Karen. I am seventy-three and have just found love in the last year for the first time in my life. The others in my past . . . We "voiced" love, but I never knew real love until now. Thank you again, and no! It is never too late.

How wonderful...I am so glad to hear it...It is the first love for this man and I just love watching him...He is like he is 16...*grin* I am so very happy for you...I wonder if love later in life is better because we have learned from past mistakes...*BIG HUGS* to you and your dear one...

You are quite right, Karen, I'm acting like a damned teenager!
