To The One Who Asked To Grow Old With Me

Because today is just an ordinary day (and NOT Valentine's Day), here's an every day love poem.

To The One Who Asked To Grow Old With Me

Years layer upon years

On faces we used to know,

Hands we once held,

Legs that once carried us

Through playful youth

When today was endless

And others were old.

Days pile upon days

And time moves quickly

In this age when

Yesterdays seem like lifetimes

When eyes search for

Signs of those we used to gaze upon

Before time reshaped,

Grayed and folded us

Into what we once called old.

Your eyes pull me into you

More than ever now

Age has made you dearer to me.

I touch your face and

Feel moments

And

Days

And

Years

That have carried you to me

Just as we are now,

My Love today

And for as long as tomorrows come.

My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.-Psalm 62:5-6
