Duet


It
does not
matter, love,
how long it takes you
to remember not to forget me;
every recollection will resonate
with my heart strings,
replay songs
we both
sang.

  9. Nice reading, Jinksy. Recollections are a part of what love is all about for older folk.

    1. I agree, Colleen! I'm sure my Ada would as well - I can't think how I missed reading such sweet sentiments before now. I must be more vigilant. :-)
