This reminds me of my parents. It looks like a place they would like.
I love them very much…..

The sunset years…
Full of scarlets and golds…
Slowly falling and descending…
Twirling lazily in the breeze, and
Destined for the ground…
But thankfully delayed…
By a well placed cypress bench…
In the middle of an oak field…
One lovely…
lonely…
Fall day…

Beautiful David. We in long marriage are destined for the end, but it is so nice to think about tomorrow and not the end…

This photo reminds me on one of mine that I took in spring this year. Poem is vivid and beautiful a bit sad but I can imagine them sitting there hand in hand smiling to eachother enjoying sunset years. I wish them healthy and happy sunset years to come.
Well they are definitely doing things they enjoy and happy with each other
What a really beautiful poem! And a very attractive blog you have too!
