PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Growing up this is something from his parents he was often told:

If you’re lucky, and this is what you want, you will find a partner

with whom you will grow old.

And if you’re blessed the love and joy and happiness you share will never end

and that same joy and love and happiness will spread out 

onto your family and friends.

Today he knows he has been lucky with his partner

with his family…with his friends…

but the wisdom of his parents he loves now to amend…

As he remembers back to when he was a boy

and what, by his parents, he was told…

He knows his luck was finding a partner to grow younger with

as the two of them grow old.
