Growing Old Together Comments

An explosion of feeling, understanding, love and beauty that found its way into words. An unforgettable Love Story.

Nice observational eye of a long-together couple. Yes, there is so much involved in making that scene real. God, hard work, sacrifice, and surrender. Nicely written portrait. Thanks.

A wonderful journey of two lovers who have attained a better understanding of each other over the years has been portrayed with rare finesse by the poet. Thank you, Perry. This is now a favourite of mine.

A thoughtful write on growing old together. Love will withstand the test of time. An enjoyable read.

This is wonderful work... Perry. The poignancy of the years of togetherness of two people so beautifully penned down. Rightfully chosen poem of the day... heartiest greetings for it. Keep up your wonderful work.

Congratulations for this being chosen Poem of the Day, we are all being given a gift here through this poem. I read several comments below about seeing a couple still in love as they walk down the street with their walker and cane. I really think we could see more examples of this if we but open our eyes. My church has dozens of them- still in tender love after all these years. It is amusing to see teenagers look at them and think how weird they are to want to kiss each other's lips or cheeks, to cuddle together on a bench, to hold each other's hands.... hopefully these kids will learn and find someone to grow old with. Excellent topic, Perry, and excellent write..

Heartiest congratulations for composing such a lovely love poem, full of maturity and care for each other. Congrats on the Poem of the Day too.

A beautiful poem on love and likes it.

years of loving the heart of unconditional love Deeply moved, thanks Perry

Filled with the joy of lovers tears - you could have stopped there. Still pretty darn good. These couples are rare however. IMO of course.

everything there is to say about true love...you said it all

To understand every piece of each other, to not expect anything of one another and to just want to be with the other is so incredibly special and hard to find. Thank You Perry

'Behind this love is certain knowledge True love only can be won When there's unconditional surrender To give all for the other one- - - - True love is beyond age.

To see two lives so wrapped together Two hearts merged and so aligned Where thoughts are shared before they're spoken When mind and soul are intertwined Great! ! ! !

There is an old couple that walks down my street almost every day holding hands. Congrats, Perry

Years of caring with the muse of sweet love. Nice work.

Nice poem. I enjoyed it. Take my thanks.

What a lovely message this beautiful poem has that seems to be easily lost in most poems about love - the surrender and sacrifice that is part and parcel of all wonderful relationships that survive the test of time. Well done!

Sacrifice and unconditional surrender. Superb lines

Your description paints a beautiful picture in mind of this deep love we all hope to find. It's such a heartwarming poem!
