It's Not Too Late
So often lovely stories start
when lonely ones at last say “Yes”
to that last call for lonely hearts,
to claim their chance at happiness.
The season and their time of life
was autumn when they met. These two,
Ramone and Pat, had weathered strife
and longed to bid the dark adieu.
Each brought to the relationship
vast wisdom earned through trying days.
Each dealt with disappointment's grip,
but now they bask in sun's bright rays.
The simple things that mean so much--
October walks, a gentle kiss,
a quiet meal, a loving touch--
are parts of their own special bliss.
Their love and friendship keep them strong,
for words and deeds go hand in hand.
Each day is a delightful song,
and life for them is never bland.
