As we grow older sins of the past seem less important...
*Winter Years Romance* *She looked to me a little lonely* *On that park bench eyes downcast* *Face once held high to greet the sun* *Now chasing memories of her past* *Though time had aged her beauty* *It could never erase her charm* *When I sat she turned towards me* *With a smile meant to disarm* *She replied when I asked if I may share* *Her bench and her time of day* *She said please sit if you don�t mind* *I�d enjoy your company please stay* *We talked of things like kids* *And war and the politics of the day* *Till finally the subject turned to love* *And how it easily it slips away* *We�d shared a love once long ago* *That somehow just got lost* *She married for money me for love* *Her heart paid a heavy cost* *Now alone again in twilight years* *Two hearts again in love evolve* *A kiss of love not lust like once* *The sins of past absolve*

Though there is a bitterswet quality to this poem, Felix, the overlaying tone is one of hope and inner peace. Beautiful poetry!
Take care,

This pulls at the heart stings. I have heard that love in later life is as good a feeling as young love. Maybe we will have the chance to try out a later life love. Very good. Karen

This fills us all with hope that love springs eternal and forever, Felix! We hope and pray that the promises of "forever" will endure life's school of hard knocks, but, if they don't, then love has a habit of finding a way of reinventing itself, growing brighter and stronger for the refining fires of heat and cold it has already come through. Sage and filled with body and beauty - just like a fine, oak-fermented red wine! :)) The best is yet to come, I'm sure! Your heart is soooo big, Pops, your fire can NEVER be out!! Love this! TY Kate xx
