So loved I have you for so many a day Loved when so young Loved every day Yet time carries on And ask for so much Your spirit and love I ache for to clutch In hands older now And eyes needing a prism You look just so fine I can’t really begin To say all within I wish that would happen As our love has matured There is so much that has happened We could talk of it for hours And days I suppose But time seems to have quieted The ether between Where our feelings and thoughts Used to generate steam So more and more years Are added to our love I hope we find time To bathe in that love And say many things We have thought and have felt As my heart writes these words My soul before you is knelt |

Hi Paul..this has a sad ring to it.. When a couple has been together for a long while we at times forget the passion that was there, for many reasons. Tell her how you feel...remind her of how it once was... and can be again! ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Let peace begin with me... |

Paul...It is wonderful to express your love in such a way after so many years...time can sometimes make things old hat...it is good to keep the love fresh in your heart so that it reflects your feelings to your beloved. Enjoyed, as always! |

One might expect the hearing to fade But not so the voices we once made Aging may not be as graceful as said When we find a dreaded silence instead |

Love grows, changes, moves in unexpected directions....and though it can be destroyed, but it never dies. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Just the other day I thought about writing a poem that talked of aged love and holding hands... But you beat me to it. |

Paul, this is so lovely. I believe that true love sees not the aging, only the outer glow of two souls joined. Hugs, Chris "At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." |

Paul -- my favorite part: "But time seems to have quieted The ether between Where our feelings and thoughts Used to generate steam" So well put! |

I hope we find time To bathe in that love And say many things We have thought and have felt I hope so too, for you...because that is the glue that stays a marriage or relationhip... ~smiling at your words M |
