"The Old Maid"

I saw her in a Broadway car, The woman I might grow to be; I felt my lover look at her And then turn suddenly to me. Her hair was dull and drew no light, And yet its color was as mine; Her eyes were strangely like my eyes, Tho' love had never made them shine. Her body was a thing grown thin, Hungry for love that never came; Her soul was frozen in the dark, Unwarmed forever by love's flame. I felt my lover look at her And then turn suddenly to me – His eyes were magic to defy The woman I shall never be. Sarah Teasdale

YIKES, we're growing old today? I love that picture - it's the same one I used for the opening of "Grow Old With Me" a few weeks ago. I think it is such a sweet picture. :) "The Old Maid" - a bit sad. We can only hope that when we do grow old, we don't grow dull and without a light in our eyes.

"Listen to me, mister. You're my knight in shining armor. Don't you forget it.
You're going to get back on that horse, and I'm going to be right behind you,
holding on tight, and away we're gonna go, go, go!"
