Inspiration from a "Midlife Lightning Strike." by Annie4 a fellow hubber

They say love is eternal
but many men and women
would beg to differ...
and yet I have witnessed
an eighty year old couple
that shared a nursing home room
and often had conjugal visits
in any way their inflictions allowed.
Love is a state of mind, body and soul,
and there are many who crave it,
one just has to be available
as a shoulder to cry on,
an arm to comfort,
a voice in the wee hours of the mourn
when loneliness plagues
the heartastrings in a sad song.
I guess I want that last kiss,
that hand to hold when I
breath my final breath,
those three words whispered
in my fading hearing as the
lights go off forever.
Just a simple I love you...
the greatest, shortest worded poem
ever uttered or written.
So keep the faith no matter
what fate assails you with.
If all else fails there is
always the other side of life
where all of the great lovers
from centuries past await
your grand and eternal
youthful entrance
to unlimited love.
Just another over
40 voice in the cacophony
of billions...
