Autumn Love
Have written a number of love poems
But never one with so much meaning
As I near the end of my seventy-sixth year
My love is more melancholy leaning
Been lovestruck for quite a number of years
But now with my advancing age
Our union is even more precious than ever
Our love has turned a new page
Tinged with a kind of quiet contentment
Like a favourite easy chair
Just to feel the presence of your soul mate
And the love the two of you share
No other feeling can even come close
It defies conventional description
It's the culmination of a lifetime shared
In the purest form, no restrictions
Why is it we only discover such love
When the leaves on the trees start to fall
We spend a lifetime in search of that moment
Then discover the truest love of all!
