I thought you would age me

I would grow old instantly

Nevermore be known by my given name alone                                        

Always a title before me

 

Torn between joy and melting time

On the threshold of a new experience

I am going to adopt that ancient name

Of support hose, bifocals and love.

 

In that first instant we eyed each other

I was destined for defeat

You captured myself, my heart, all of me

I sank into your well-being of happiness

 

Call me Granny, call me Nanny

Call me any time of day

You didn’t age me, Keeley

You took my breath away.

 

 

 

LOVE YOU! xxxxx
