Twenty Years From This Day Poem by Lynn Grassette
Twenty Years From This Day
Twenty years from this day
When we've gone separate ways
When all is grown, all has changed
And time causes feelings to fade
I hope to see you on the street
With a lover who you complete
May she laugh and love as much as me
With heat so pure and soul so free
I hope we smile, give a sigh
Exchange greeting and goodbyes
And if we happen to meet eyes
Think 'Those were the days of our lives'
And if you cry for me that night
Though holding your lover tight
Just know all is all right
For we loved, with a love
Well worth our time
Fabulous, Linley. wonderfully wistful, but with recognition that it's 'better to have loved and lost...) Jxxx
It's a fascinating thought - twenty years from now... scarey too! Your compassion and tolerance shine through this piece about forgiveness. Thanks for sharing. love, Allie xxxx
...twenty years from now I'll be posthumous Lin, but I'll leave you my pen
Amazing write, Linley... heartfelt but not overly sentimental. Really well done! ! Brian
This is so bitter-sweet Linley, great write though and like the feeling of hope and knowledge that love WAS there.... it probably still is! HG: -) xx
There's great sadness in this, but there also seems to be a resigned determination that it will end up this way, plus a generosity of spirit. There will be cause for that. Good quality writing throughout.

A sad read in some ways, Linley. Anticipating a parting of the ways in 20 years' time? How can you be sure? Love, Fran xx
