We are so different from what we were But shadows of ourselves still linger We have so many things in common still And things we still remember The differences are softly subtle They hang as a gossamer veil Between yesterday and today It's there, it's real, it's frail We want the best of both our worlds The newness of a love so old The security of the one we have The reality is so cold We walk our walk and talk our talk Thinking no one is the wiser But in our hearts we know that Just below the surface is a geyser We have to walk softly, gingerly Thru this emotional maze It's sometimes hard to concentrate On the real things of our days The love we share is real and Strong as a spider's web But our lives are different now Funny how we were led Thirty years, the tie is there And will not be cut by time Maybe thirty more..who knows I'll be yours and you'll be mine.

"The differences are softly subtle They hang as a gossamer veil Between yesterday and today" Oh...I do love the imagery in those lines. Very nicely written! ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |
