These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Days of Love

The days of love are running fast
as the runners slow a bit.
The loverly days of this couple’s past
are as sweet as love can get.

We mustn’t forget to go out of our way
to love when we are old
for the past and future as today
make a bas relief so bold.

I hope, that I’ll still be her heart
as my strength begins to fade.
I hope she’ll be so glad for our start
as my spouse, no more a maid.

The days of love are an ageless wine,
that ages very well.
Th’aroma in the snifter’s fine
all senses plainly tell.
