The Couple

I hear laughter just outside my window
curiosity has gotten the best of me
I rise from my chair to look down below
what a wondrous thing I did see.

The couple were walking hand in hand
eating a double dipped ice cream
they were dancing to their own band
Lost in a world of their own dream.

Stealing kisses as they crossed the street
There eyes shown with admiration
A love like that I thought was sweet
A love so true filled with affection.

As they strolled along their merry way
I knew this story must be told
I hope with all my heart that’s us someday
To be that romantic when we are old.

You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King

Kitty *perk, did somebody say "kitties?"*

I like the way you led me along with a picture of two young sweethearts, and then changed the whole scene with your last line.  This is a wonderful example of great discipline and forethought.  Very nicely done!

Thank-you for your reply. I so much admire the elderly who have shared so much of their lives together.
