quote:
When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep

From “When You Are Old” by William Butler Yeats

And tho now old in need of sleep
aside the fire where lone I keep
those dreams behind a fluttered lid
in wait of that which age has bid.

For night does let the earth lie still
amongst the heavenly good will
as comets soar the darkened sky
and lips then whisper why oh why.

As days do pass and leaves now fall
I’ll lie here love in wait our ball
where dreams shall lead as years do pass
and from our toast we raise life’s last.

Rendered so beautifully.
Love is timeless...it is changed and molded all along, but resilient to the end.
Someday, I hope to grow up and be like you!
Hugs,
