How Love

Love of heat

Love of comfort

Love of sharing

Love of staying fast

 

Nurturing Us, forever

till death do us part

a solemn oath

not uttered lightly

 

Together:

doing dishes together at 60

holding the shower head at 70

clipping softened toenails at 80

reading the newspaper at 85

 

Holding hands through out autumn

Cuddling in December

Planting in April

Picking in August

 

Loving… How!

Author notes

The significance of love starts with lust and ends with total sharing. When we reach the maturity of our partnerships, we are able to find and measure our commitment in day-to-day tangibles. How we partnership with our "signficant other" is the key to happiness and contentment.

Isn't the question durability? Doesn't laying futile ground start with passonate heat and end with practical sharing in intimacy?

    Excellent!

    Beautiful description of one of the most important of life's passages. An outstanding rendering of the transition and true intimacy of a loving couple's progression through life. Touched my heart in a very special way. The words are so carefully chosen to describe the subtle power of a relationship.

      thanks, I meant every word

      I meant every word, those seniors among the AP Crowd must "tell it like it is..." down among the leaves on the forest floor.

      Isn't it the "minutia" of life that drives our contentment when the "shine" of ecatasy wears thin?

          Thanks Again

          Yes, the operative word is "progress", less we lose sight of living and learning!
