Aging Poem

The process of aging need not be painful. Spouses continue to see the beauty in each other as they age.

Heaven Sent

© Teresa J. Kendall
His shoulders are a little slumped now and his back a little bent.
But to me he looks like he was heaven sent.

His blue eyes may have glasses to see
and he may have to get up a lot at night to pee,
but for me he was heaven sent.

His dentures are clean and white, and his smile is so bright.
I feel lucky every night to kiss him and wish him a goodnight.
Yes, for me he was heaven sent and I am quite content.
