The body ages - not the heart
it stays forever young . . .
expanding to embrace new loves
its song is never sung.
Tomorrow I may love still more
than in my yesterdays . . .
Life knocks upon the waiting door
outside new music plays.
Love springs unbidden to the heart
a stranger now a friend . . .
and on a day till then grey dull
loom futures without end.
The mind can furnish countless ways
the body plays its part . . .
but life has no conspiracy
to age a loving heart!
WOW!
ReplyDeleteFood for tought, definitely...
Love and joy

Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteI just love reading your poems. You really are so talented!
I didn't want to get specific on my blog, but if you're curious about my most recent post - those songs reminded me of an old love. It's difficult to put into words, but I just need to express it somehow :)
Take care,
♥ Robyn
