  1. Love the song..I am always in awe of folk like you who have stayed together all those years..something sacred about that.

  7. Yup.. yr on the right track.. yes about love.. but also the way you feel about someone is also the way you "see" them.. not just their physical appearance.. but their personality, sexuality, their inner soul, if you like. ... Being "seen" and thought of as beautiful by someone you love is truelly precious, dont you think?

    Splitting an Order
    by Ted Kooser

    I like to watch an old man cutting a sandwich in half,
    maybe an ordinary cold roast beef on whole wheat bread,
    no pickles or onion, keeping his shaky hands steady
    by placing his forearms firm on the edge of the table
    and using both hands, the left to hold the sandwich in place,
    and the right to cut it surely, corner to corner,
    observing his progress through glasses that moments before
    he wiped with his napkin, and then to see him lift half
    onto the extra plate that he had asked the server to bring,
    and then to wait, offering the plate to his wife
    while she slowly unrolls her napkin and places her spoon,
    her knife and her fork in their proper places,
    then smoothes the starched white napkin over her knees
    and meets his eyes and holds out both old hands to him.

  9. I've often watched elderly couples...at church or a restaurant or out shopping...the way they are with each other...gentle, careful, respectful and loving. It warms my heart to see the husband walk around the car to open his wife's door (just the way my father always did for my mother), and to see them take each other's hand, probably for support, but I suspect always out of love. There is much to be learned from watching elderly couples. God bless them all.

  12. Gorgeous poem Dave. thankyou for thinking of coming back to leave this for us all to read. As I said to you, it would be like a ritual, repeated over the many years between these two. You would get alot of enjoyment from yr daily emails Im sure.
