Will You Love Me Then? Poem by Patricia Grantham

Will You Love Me Then?

Rating: 5.0


Will you still love me when I grow old
When life's problems have taken their toll
With secrets uncovered and tales unfold
From this day forward to have and to hold

We cannot tell how our life is going to be
Some things that are hidden from you and me
Bound together by love and tied like a knot
Two perfect individuals is what we are not

I'll still see your shadow when eyes grow dim
Feel your tender touch at each and every whim
Basking in the warmth of your gentle embrace
Loving you ever none can never take your place

Age is not a n obstacle for love. Growing older does not separate from love. Somethings are hidden but well felt on mutual understanding. Loving for each one is amazing and nice at all times. Interesting and nice poem shared......10

'Two perfect individuals is what we are not' - not that withstanding, 'I'll still see your shadow when eyes grow dim Feel your tender touch at each and every whim Basking in the warmth of your gentle embrace Loving you ever none can never take your place' - so heavenly, so sublime! Your poem gets a 10 from me.

What I believe, true love once it's formed and realized, it is immortal, it never dies. We may die because of ur mortality and uncertainty, but that love what was once formed will never die. It becomes more and more well bonded and closer to closest. Thanks for sharing this poem.

Love grows more as one grows old. The intimacy keeps life more interesting. What one feels I am sure the partner feels the same. You expressed the feelings and the expectations beautifully in a lovely poems. Thank you.
