This book is written by an eighty six year old recent widower. The poems and Musings are here to show that age does not diminish love and romance.

Romance

Romance the greatest mental
Gift to mankind.
Yes I said it.
What more wonderful than the
Overwhelming feeling of love.
To be able to be near And to
Smell the scent, to caress the tresses, to
gently hold a hand,
This is rapture at its acme.
When there are times that I Am
Alone without you the seconds
Go painfully slow. To espy you
Again is as if the heavens have
Brought forth the shining sun.
The flowers bloom in all their
Radiance and aromas. To be in love is all. This is a reality made
In heaven.
