Will You Love Me, When... Poem by david lessard

will you love me when I'm old and gray?
when my hairline is receding?
will you flee or will you stay?
when Viagra, I'll be needing.

will you love me, when my teeth fall out?
when my skin starts sagging?
when I've no breath left to shout,
when my motivation's lagging.

will you love me, when my hearing's gone?
when my vision needs repair?
when the pounds start piling on,
will you be around to care?

will you love me, when my joints all ache?
when my youthful looks are past?
have you the love of which it takes,
to make the moments sweet and last?

will you love me, when the roof caves in?
when things don't seem quite bright?
if you've no regrets, for where we've been,
then surely we can we win the fight.
