When I am Old

Contributed by jerseysue on Sunday, 10th September 2006 @ 07:15:58 AM in AEST
Topic: oops





Will you still love me when I am old,
When my beauty has withered away,
When my sparkling eyes are dull and grey,
Will you leave me or will you stay,

When my once lithe body is sadly misshapen,
And my face is all wrinkled and lined,
Will you still want to kiss,when I look like this,
Or will you turn away from me and decline,

If I have to walk with a zimmer frame,
Because my knees are so old that they creak,
Will you take me walking, will we still be talking,
Or will you go because you are so weak,

When my once pearly teeth are falling out,
When I have to be fitted with dentures,
Will you still be keen . with me to be seen,
Will you still take me on special adventures,

When I am old, and my hair turns grey,
Will you still love me so strong and true,
Because I am still nifty , even at fifty,
But you my love are only twenty two.

Loved this poem jerseysue, if the answer is no lock him in the loft!! It makes you wonder how the idea of a toy boy does work, probably doesn't last the course! At least he'd be young enough to work and then perhaps pay for cosmetic surgery and a hollywood smile for you!

HAH!
..what a grand thought~ ..lol
(that final stanza is unbridled Sue!)
..the cradel of love (no pun intended..lol) knows no age.. it is not bound by the physical.. but thrives in a state of mentality.. only-
for those, at least, who are bound by truth alone-
