Love; what, indeed, does aging have to do with it?...

Dedicated to my precious Mother, whose Grace and Compassion know no bounds.



I am in love
for the last time
she blushed shyly

The silken sheen
of her rosy cheeks
belie her
ninety-plus years


I am in love
for the last time
she smiled brightly

The twinkle in her clear
china-blue eyes
Reveals not a hint
of the many sorrows
hidden in their depths

I am in love
She laughed
Like the beautiful songbird
She is

How beautiful new love is! I love the way you express your hapiness and wonder at seeing it in your own mother. Age has not one thing to do with it, in my opinion, it's still love. Wonderful write!

How wonderful that she is open to love and in love.
May it fill the rest of her days with joyousness, as your poem has filled my heart.

I really like this. We never grow too old to love. And love is such a bitter-sweet thing...well presented here. Hopes of much happiness and joy to you, M'Lady,

So deeply moving. Love is as youthful as it is eternal. When "in love" casts it's glow upon us, we can't help but shine both outside and within. Love is no respecter of age, thank God! But thank you for sharing this treasure, Carolyn. It is indeed precious. And very humbling, somehow. May her "in love for the last time" live long and live with all the beauty and endurance of that songbird. Bless you both, Kate xx

Sweet poem from a daughter who is wise to appreciate her mother while she is still alive. Wonderful piece.

This is beautiful and a wonderful tribute to your mother. Whether love is mellowed with age, or the lover mellowed with age, loves significance and meaning is stronger and more powerful than in youth.

She truly sounds like a beautiful songbird, Carolyn! And a marvelous dedication to her.

A beautiful acknowledgement, Carolyn - equivalent to the highest peace of mind and happiness. I will testify to the biological and mutual respect of the mother/daughter relationship, as I am also my mother's caretaker. I see an extension of myself in my mother everyday and I'm proud that I'm her daughter. I return to the womb occasionally. Love is a good thing at any age - love leaves its mark on every sphere of human activity...
