 If together we can grow old~ We'll wear veiled flowered hats And flowing dresses of chiffon We'll take daily tea at four In our garden of English grace Reading passages from "Visions" Velvet bookmarks save our place. If together we should grow old~ Debonair gentlemen friends Most likely will come to call Evenings spent on our veranda We'll be serving fine liqueur.. With crystal glasses clinking Midst laughter and grandeur. So, if together we do grow old~ Let's forget our age at times We'll play "I spy" and hopscotch too Yo-yo tricks and hula hoops Make sundaes topped with sprinkles Decorate our home in summertime With coloured Christmas lights that twinkle. Yes, together we will grow old~ May it be gracefully...between giggles, lost loves, heartaches, and healing hugs. And, when the grand kids come tumbling in We'll laugh, play "hide and seek" once more. Hunt for seashells, snails and tiny treasures Build sand castles..and...smile..just as before. Growing old together perhaps by the sea Two sisters blessed and living happily ~ . . Nightshade & Enchantress June 3rd. 2004 ~~~~~ |

No "ifs" about it... one of the finest duets to spring forth lately... Charming, appealing... and ever enduring. Ratz. Now I'm jealous! |

Thankyou JL for reading and commenting. Karilea - you are of course our sister in our hearts. Nancy Lee - my sister my best friend...what else is there to say? Except maybe....how come you got the parasol?  |

It is truly wonderful to see the combined creative talent that you two beautiful ladies possess. I thoroughly enjoyed this duet. Perhaps one day I'll share a glass of liqueur on the veranda with both of you. believe in what your heart feels... |

You've not just written a duet... you've written a "how to" guide for sisters. *S* This is so beautiful... so filled with love!! |

You lovely twosome may grow together, but you will never grow old! You will do it gracefully and with your delightfully spirited inner children keeping you both young forevermore! A lovely write that makes me miss my sister even more since she moved to BC last year. To love, laughter, and sisters!  Linda |

I've read several duets, but none with the obvious bond between the writers that you two have. This is a treat to read. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

May it truly be as you wish. You both are so deserving of that pleasure in life. An outstanding statement....one which I relate to very well....but he doesn't write poetry.... |
