Grow old with me

Grow old  with me 

and one day 

while we rock on our porch 

we will expound 

about the glory days of love. 

You will reminisce on 

my dark hair and freckles

I will weave a tale 

about your wilder side 

and at our knees 

our grandchildren will anchor themselves 

pleading for one more for the road 

you, only too eager to fulfill, will take a sip of mid day coffee 

glasses settling at the brim of your nose 

eyes aglow 

crinkled hands wringing out the last bit of bardic magic 

you will smile and say

"well, it all started with a girl"

Such a delightful momento to place inside of a time capsule!

This is a lovely poem of hope, love, and growing old with the one you love. What else could be a better life than this? I really enjoyed reading this inspirational poem.

Mid day coffee is great haha. I thought this piece was kinda cute. "Bardic magic", I particularly like those words. Nice work!

There is an endless, beautiful awakening in your words, Crystal. How it all seemingly starts in simple things, with glances and light and hushed words that grow into dances and chats that last all night. Love, it is said to be the closest thing we know to magic. xo

I loved it.
Reading this felt like a pleasant breeze on a hot summer day, soothing.

Crystal, Reading this evokes the summery smell of fresh cut grass and the sounds of kids playing baseball down the block. The piece fairly oozes warmth covered memories. A lot of readers have memories of grandma and grandpa spinning stories; you injected yourself and hubby into these roles then just let your creativity shine brightly filling in the blanks. Bonus points for the phrase "bardic magic." Extremely well done! take care...dan

I love this little tale of of yours... sign me up! haha You express perfectly the desire to have
such a strong love that grows together forever. I hope someday to be sitting with someone the
way you describe in this story telling stories to my grandchildren. It would truly be a blessing :)
Great work!
