Romance, After Sixty…by Robert M. Katzman
(copyright May 1, 2011)
Â
For me, and perhaps for you..
Â
Romance is rubbing her feet
While she’s sleeping
Snuggling while she’s awake
Â
Romance is dancing in the kitchen
To music only we remember
Â
Sitting in the driveway
Talking
Dreaming
Planning
Smiling
Â
Romance is agreeing
Not about what our children didn’t do
But what they did
And remembering the rocks along the way
Â
Romance is walking slower
Through a cool leafy forest
Because she needs to walk slower
Even on a level path
Â
Once we hiked up
A smoking Vesuvius
Things change
