Love
You were my destiny
To you
I offered the best of me
As a team
We made our own history
Now we grow on
Toward the mystery
Of aging and saging
Together.
What a freaking good plan.

Really like this one!
Me, too!
What a great follow-up to your Illicit Thrill poem. A freaking good plan is the path to take!! ~Paula
Thanks, Paula!
So far, it’s working for me! :-)
Love it! That last line is great!
Aren’t I a lucky old girl, Raven?
Thank you for visiting A Trellis Truce. You are so right about Ada, but than, doesn’t the lady always know best? LOL. Clearly, you and your other half have worked things out to perfection!
Blushing! And agreeing!
Yes it is! Aging and saging (and sagging if you’re me!)
Oh, that’s a given! One cannot reach 50+ without a little of that… or serious intervention!
Ladies, sagging can have it’s own attractions for us mere males…
Caddoc,
Has Ada been out of the house today?
Oh I love this, especially “what a freaking good plan”. Nice to know that it exists:)
It does, Sherry! And I never underestimate the value.
a swell plan of love!
Thanks, Mia!
A cheerful tale, especially the last part.
Thanks, Andy!
I had to comment on this one. Love the last line. I recently was married (again), past middle age. And that aging together thing is wonderful. Freaking wonderful! Thanks for the poetry.
Terrific for you, Andree!
So glad you found happiness the second time around. Aging together is a gift.
beautiful and fun too…aging together is indeed a blessing.
The best!
Love it Kim, just love it, nothing else to say.

You are always a blessing here, Elizabeth!
What a nice plan, Kim!
Simply loved it.:-)
thrilled that you do!
LoL! that was SO cute! What a sweet tribute to your man! :-)
Thanks, Tracey. He is a wonder and a light.
Love the last line, “freaking good plan” YOU made me smile! Aging truly isn’t for sissies~
Oh my heck, no it is not! We have to embrace change and learn to laugh at the curves and turns the wild ride provides.
it’s beautiful … I love to read your poems as it always gives me a glimpse of a life not known to me. loved – ‘Of aging and saging
Together’…God bless you.
Your comments made me so happy! I AM glad you can have a peek! Blessings!
Love this!I am aging happily with my own Good Husband…together is a freaking good plan indeed…:)

Aging together…..wonderfully said…
blessed for sure…May God bless you always…
Rashmi, I thank you, both for your kind words, and for continuing to read and support my work.
Perhaps if I was to be asked one fundamental running thread in this poem, then I would say team-spirit. Reminds me of some episode somewhere I watched some years ago. An old couple, walking together, during valentine–in their own way celebrating each other. Them laughing exposing their toothless gums, but nonetheless living in that moment. Who can beat that?
You’ve narrowed it down to the essence, Lorot. No… it does not get better than that. After thirty-four years with this man ( I was only 17 when we fell in love) I speak from a place of commitment and experience.
Very nice, and I especially liked “Toward the mystery
Of aging and saging”
Thanks, Mad. I AM ever-amazed at what I learn with each passing year. This is a wondrous journey.
Good! I wish you and your husband togetherness as you age.
Thank you. I foresee that happening!
lol! “Freaking good plan” Loved it Kim! xo
I AM happy you do, Sherry! Have a wonderful weekend!
The unknown beckons each day. Old or young, it calls and draws us together.
You share sure wisdom here, Jan. Thank you!
I think grey hair makes for glorious love …
:-) … even if it is colored a lustrous auburn?
Sounds like a freakin good plan to me! :)
What a great love poem and the ending cracked me up. That’s MY love story, too, there at the end. LOL
Yay for us, Judy!
It’s been said but needs repeating – a great ending, Kim! Of course, the greatness is in what comes before and how much we relish a loving spouse.
I certainly do, Mario!
