A Peaceful Life Poem by Joyce Hemsley

They will obliterate past words of love
In actual fact, they'll destroy every line.
Love is over, there's no affection
As age and wisdom combine!
The truth is suddenly dawning...
They need the affair no more.
All they seek is 'a peaceful life'
With loved ones from days of yore.
They will burn all the old love letters
Although this seems so very unkind;
But they must ignore fancy words of love
And quickly obliterate every line.
