second time around our heads are in the clouds but our feet are on the ground a grandma and a grandpa silver in our hair a glimmer in our eyes and tenderness to share midlife romance we took another chance old enough for wisdom young enough to dance a grandma and a grandpa our salad days are past seasoned by the years we know that life goes fast midlife romance a gift for two to share this grandma and this grandpa we make a perfect pair  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (edited 12-09-2001).] |

Lyra darling girl, this is utterly utterly wonderful. I love the flow, I love the pace, and the sentiments, ahhhh they are just perfect.  Now I know what you look like Lyra, but of course I knew you'd be utterly beautiful. And you are   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Lyra, You wonderful woman! This Grandpa of yours is one lucky guy. I would be at Grandma's house everyday if she was as great as you. The poem was fabulous (as usual). Roger |

Thanks Michael...I agree, Most of the time, I don't want to be young again...we get so much wiser with our years, but we LOOK so much better when we're young! I think finding love at this age is so much less traumatic then in our twenties...at least it has been for me. It is also much sweeter, because we know that life doesn't last forever.
