A Poem of Love from a 40 something Man to his Physical Therapist Assistant Wife

oh these days
of my early old age
i’m afraid my bones are getting brittle

my mind is getting little
my muscles are sore
and i still have much to achieve

but as my eyes get blurry
and my sharpness dull
i clearly understand
my renewed and vibrant heart

as one thing ends
another starts

at my early old age i now know
that i don’t understand much at all
but one thing i know for sure

is that my heart
feels stronger than it has ever been before

i shall heal my aches
and cure my pains
and build a longer life with you

because one thing i know for sure

is that my love for you will endure
it is stronger than it has ever been before
