Fall In Love With You

If you would only give me time
I’d fall in love with you.
You tell me that you like my rhyme,
I hope that it is true.

I am an aging cowboy-
In the sunset of his life...
The children that I had are grown,
My ailments now are rife.

I long to see the tumbleweeds-
And feel the prairie breeze,
And hear my saddle creaking-
As I ride along at ease.

I wish that I were young again-
The grass was far more green.
My eyes were wide with wonder-
At the things that I have seen.

I still had dreams of glory-
And things that I would do-
And dreamed of ephemeral love-
I wonder, was it you?

But years seem to have quickly fled-
I’m cynical and old...
And all too quickly I’ll be dead-
With stories still untold...

Perhaps it’s better after all-
To put those thoughts aside...
Forget the wasted dreams of love-
And passion, and of pride.

So I will merely say once more-
Before I bid adieu-
In other, better, younger times-
I’d fall in love with you.

For a lament, this is yet hopeful. Good stuff.

You are never too old to fall in love or be loved. Lucky is the woman to be wooed by a romantic guy like you! ebm

It is never too old to fall in love and have some one return that love to you. It happens all the time. I met a couple in their early 80's who decided to marry and spend the rest of their years together and they still went out dancing! In fact they met at a dance group.
