Seen that face before it turned into a dream
snatched from distant memories unravelled at the seams
Never knew from first we met what beautiful looks you kept

Yet when you gave to me a photograph shyly nervous
overlooked your body for the eyes staring back at me
but looks never mattered just the thought of you and I

Then I’d turn to think of others together for the wrong reasons
in old age they’d be no looks to love they’d know
that the word means more than just a mating call

Lee, you may not post as often as I would like, but when you do, it is always worth the read ~ as was this touching poem.

May the coming new year be a joyous one for you and your loved ones,

Love & Light,
Linda

yes...it is not the looks that keeps the love
in hold...it is the heart.

you know the secret.

some are so caught up in looks and age they will never be happy...their own mirror so tainted..

Very well done!!
