Sonnet 72: Love In Ones Older Years Is Sweet And Kind Poem by David Wood
Sonnet 72: Love In Ones Older Years Is Sweet And Kind
Love in ones older years is sweet and kind
When grey hairs and frail bodies take a hold
And memories of your love fill your mind
When you were once young and your love was bold.
Now life is taken at a slower pace
And everywhere you go you just hold hands
The look of love is expressed on your face
And seen visibly in your wedding bands.
But when God calls your love away from you
And you are left to roam the world alone
The love still remains as if it were new
And your resolve then stiffens like a stone.
True love evolves and grows over the years
And true love soothes all life’s worries and fears.
A great poem, yes true love really does last forever. It is one thing that does not have a sell by date.
A beautiful poem on sober love! True love matures with age and transcends the boundaries of flesh and hot romance! The concluding couplet is superb!
True love soothes all life’s worries and fears Love matures with age like wine. One must take from love what one can at every stage. Thank you.
a sonnet with a universal theme...it will never be a thing of past...! ! !
The wisdom of passing years and sadness of loss cannot match enduring love a great source of comfort.
Yes, so true...True love soothes all life's worries and fear..Beautiful poem...Loved reading it.
In old years many lessons in life have been learned. Life is looked at much differently and the years have become much more mellow. lovely David
A very sweet sonnet David, love in old age is just as important as in youth, if not more so.
