Growing Old Together Poem by Perry Biggerstaff
Growing Old Together
To be like them who all would envy
To know a love that snared two hearts
To feel that love while in their presence
To wonder how such true love starts
To hear it in in their conversation
To catch it when their voices rise
To see it in her softest gesture
and in the twinkle of his eyes
To see them slowly walk together
To see him reach out for her hand
A habit born from years of caring
Is more than most can understand
To see two lives so wrapped together
Two hearts merged and so aligned
Where thoughts are shared before they're spoken
When mind and soul are intertwined
To watch them look upon each other
and know they see beyond the years
They see with eyes of two young lovers
Filled with the joy of lovers tears
All wonder where such true love started
Not coincidence, but sacrifice
God was there in their chance meeting
When two would choose to pay one price
Behind this love is certain knowledge
True love only can be won
When there's unconditional surrender
To give all for the other one.
How nice it would be, what ever you have written here is actually true! ! ! Well written expectation and wish you good luck! !
what a wonderful relationship you are in and it's fantastic you have the talent to create pictures of love in your words. i'm shamed to say my writings are not generally so aplumb with dedication. I rid the demons, you embrace the wonder of love. awesome. neat to see something so dramatically different from my usual tone. thanks.
Your description paints a beautiful picture in mind of this deep love we all hope to find. It's such a heartwarming poem!
An explosion of feeling, understanding, love and beauty that found its way into words. An unforgettable Love Story.
Nice observational eye of a long-together couple. Yes, there is so much involved in making that scene real. God, hard work, sacrifice, and surrender. Nicely written portrait. Thanks.
A wonderful journey of two lovers who have attained a better understanding of each other over the years has been portrayed with rare finesse by the poet. Thank you, Perry. This is now a favourite of mine.
A thoughtful write on growing old together. Love will withstand the test of time. An enjoyable read.

Congratulations for this being chosen Poem of the Day, we are all being given a gift here through this poem. I read several comments below about seeing a couple still in love as they walk down the street with their walker and cane. I really think we could see more examples of this if we but open our eyes. My church has dozens of them- still in tender love after all these years. It is amusing to see teenagers look at them and think how weird they are to want to kiss each other's lips or cheeks, to cuddle together on a bench, to hold each other's hands.... hopefully these kids will learn and find someone to grow old with. Excellent topic, Perry, and excellent write..
