Age

One day
When we
Are old love
May happen
To us despite
Ourselves and
Our memories of
Past hurts tender or
Callused over despite
Our suspicions that old men
Are only looking for a purse or
A nurse or that old women just
Want a pet who can drive the
Car carry bags or cans yet
Still love happens if we
Listen to our heart
And not our wise
Old head just
As sweet as
When we
Were
Young so
If despite your
Self it happens to you
Listen to hope not to age.
And if it doesn’t there
Is our program to
Enjoy cup to
Savor pet
To love
Age
To enjoy.
