Time Tells True Poem by Edward Iacona

TIME TELLS TRUE
Edward Iacona



There's a popular time worn belief
That older people have a hunger
To date or have a relationship with
A person that's much younger.

At the risk of sounding sarcastic,
There may be a concern to mount.
That, "Age is just a number" relates
To what is in one's bank account.

Now, dear reader, don't be incensed
This is not a common deception.
For significant other age differences
There is many a joyful exception.

When dating someone much younger
I think that I might truly balk,
Not because of others opinions
Or, for people that might gawk.

Not to worry about those intimate times,
Though the pace may have slowed to a walk
But eventually the age difference may tell
When to each other you'll need to talk.
