Beautiful as ever

J Elizabeth

You were beautiful at 19.  Here we are 40 plus years later and you are as beautiful as ever.  I am one of the luckiest men alive because you have let me share your life.

We've become "geezers" together.  What a blessing.

We are working on designing our "last house" like we were young again, well not exactly young.  But the dreaming is still there.

I look at a time when we might not be able to walk up stares and we might need caretakers.  Our search for words, sometimes both of us searching, becomes longer, more arduous. 

When I see your smile, the years settle in, the past eases, the present holds and the future waits.
