Still Holding Hands

Still Holding Hands

After thirty years
still seems
like yesterday

and

after all those years
even more
than before
We still say

I love you
yes I do

each day
is new
with you

I'm still
so in love
with you
each breath I take
is because
of you


In the eveneing
and
when times are right
and
I,m holding her hand
in mine tight

I look in her eyes
and say
Thank you
for today
and
I wouldn't have it
any other way
 
Lets walk a little longer
it only makes the heart
stronger

Lovers
holding hands
older in years
though they may be

it is plain
to see
the glow of love
in each older mate
the glow of Love
did radiate

Every time
you see them together
this woman and this man
still
holding hands

They have walked
the long and winding
road of life
together
across this land

still
after all these years
Holding Hands

Seems
like such a simple thing
Holding Hands
 saying
I love you
but
it's really
part of the art of life

Hands held together
firmly and tight
through
another day
and
through another night
through
another mile
and into
another smile

I'm sorry if this is mushy
I appologize
if I pontificate
but
I hope that
WE All
find a love like that
before
it is to late

Me too. Good for you. Hard to hold hands during the trying times though. Keep up the good work. Just lovely......

I do hope everyone finds a love like this. When my parents had been married 20 years. I asked them how could they stand to see the same face day after day. When they had been married 35 years I told them it had to be boring. After 45 years I just assumed they were together for the long haul and when they passed after 56 years together I knew it was love. They use to ask their two divorced daughters if we meant our vows. I guess that was their nice way of saying they didn't think so. I wish we had because love like this is beautiful.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
