Ah, this sentiment is perfect! Of course, age has no relevance when it comes to love; it deepens with time and becomes less physical and more of an existence of two hearts beating together as one.

Your image is perfect - my hands have begun to look like this, but the wedding ring I wear and the occasional bracelet tells a story of an earlier time that lives on in my heart.

Very well done.

In our 56th year if marriage - these wrinkled, arthritic hands can testify to your words. If we remain young at heart, the world stays brighter and feels lighter. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Exactly! Love can deepen with age when wisdom steps in and spreads a loving embrace over all of a couple and their children, grandchildren, and extended family.
This speaks to the many who doubt their love as their fear of old age diseases such as dementia sets in, yet even that can bring a couple closer together.

    ou've beautifully expressed the profound ways in which love can grow and transform over time, Jesse. Wisdom gained through shared experiences and challenges indeed strengthens the bonds between couples, extending that love to their children, grandchildren, and beyond.

    The fear of aging and illnesses like dementia is real, but as you've highlighted, these trials can also deepen the connection and bring couples even closer together. Love is remarkably resilient and adaptable, capable of providing comfort and strength even in the face of life's toughest challenges.

When both parties age together there is more mutual respect as we enjoy the company of someone we have long history with, the love then deepens. I enjoyed your poignant poem for the contest Peter, love Dolly x
