the comedy of mid-life surprises … …





we have been around a while, we have had our share of tears, and of many a smile,


life has often been kind, though at times it felt like all joy, all peace, was left far, far behind,


now our hair greys and thins, and we have chronic medication in more than a few tins,


we may have seen and heard it all before, yet, and still there is a wish felt deep within our hearts core,


perhaps not of rose-tinted love, or falling stars streaking across the skies above,


perhaps just a need to feel human again,
for the sun must shine after a shower of rain,


so why don’t we give it a shot, for who knows,
things may get a bit steamy, if not desirably hot … …
