Grow Old With Me
Grow old with me, my darling stay
Beside me as we walk our way
Through life’s uncertainties. Be my light
Through stormy days and dark of night.
You are my half, you make me whole,
You are the mirror of my soul.
Without you, life would make no sense.
Between us there is no pretense.
You know my thoughts before I speak.
You lend me strength when I am weak.
You tell me things I need to hear.
And, even then, you hold me dear.
Grow old with me, my darling stay.
I need you more and more each day.
Grow old with me, my heart implores.
We’ll live in love forevermore.

Would that my love could have grown old with me! God did not see fit and took him to glory to be with him. I still miss and long for his presence but know that God knows best. I do have a companion most dear, my Savior, who is always here to guide and sustain me when I fall if on him I call. Loved this beutiful poem. 🙂 Jane

I thank all of you for your lovely comments. That is way my husband felt about one another for forty years, before GOD taken him home 29 years ago. We shall love one another forever.

This is beautiful, it fits the descripton of my parents marriage, when my father passed away 9 years ago, they had been married for 64 years.

I just love this poem it fits my life with my hubby to a tee we’ve been married 35 years;;and i am so glad we got together;;;
December 26, 2010 @ 7:15 pm
Sweetie, this one is about us.. We both know what these words mean and I want you to know that I love growing old with you. (you’re one in a million and I’m so lucky to have you)

Sixty four years ago, I looked up and saw my future husband…somehow we just clicked, but went slowly in dating for two years… This year will be 59 years of marriage… Ups and downs, but leveling out in the end.
Never wanting anyone else, we are still in love, “quiet love” in our senior years you might say. hee hee.
I still listen for the key in the door when he comes home… We have three wonderful children and two grandchildren. Thank you GOD for letting us grow old together… We are truly blessed by GOD, and so are you.
I LOVE YOU BILL. Blessings… Elizabeth W.

and our reflection will beam unto eternity, my Darling.
The stars come nightly to the sky, the tide wave unto the sea,
Nor time,
Nor space,
Nor deep,
Nor high,
shall keep my own away from me. from the poem, “Waiting”
June 25, 2010 @ 8:29 am

I like this message. It is very impressive.
November 28, 2009 @ 10:12 pm
the tear drops of my heart fill my soul with sadness, for i once knew a couple who loved each other that much and planned on growing old together as this were meant to be, Helen n Jim were their names,with so much to gain. they were childhood sweethearts till the end. this is the way it’s suppose to be.not the violence and shame of todays world. when a man loves a women theirs nothing he would not do.. come on ladies, listen to the song…it tells no lies ! listen to your hearts with your brain..1 hurt can be a mistake,but 2nd 1 is not. love like you’ve never loved before. look inside i’s heart and soul for that is what your gonna love much more later in yrs.. this poem was so delicate,of being 1 not 2,of 2hearts that take their love with them.. that never ends !
November 28, 2009 @ 9:54 pm
I feel very touched by this poem! though i don’t have anyone who can say to or share with this poem, but i truely feel for this kind of true love in the world , they maybe strangers to me, but i sincerely bless, and pray for their forever happiness! and grow old together as the poem says… how sweet and wonderful feeling you have! so very touching and moving! i am happy for you! and are wish your darling can grow old together with you! most beautiful love you have behold!
November 28, 2009 @ 7:04 pm
I Think this is a beautiful poem for all in true relationships

Thank you Janet. Unfortunately I do not have a significant other to share it with.
November 28, 2009 @ 2:07 pm
This is lovely. Too bad it isn’t meant for me.
November 28, 2009 @ 12:30 pm
You gaveme hope..
November 28, 2009 @ 12:29 pm
I am old in years but young and still looking for a man that will love me and we will grow old together…strong love much stronger than any force and sturdy than any Giant Redwoods of this picture…but the poem and picture are good match indeed
November 28, 2009 @ 12:21 pm
I love this poem. Wish I still had my husband with me to give this to him. He died young, but we had 30 years of wedding bliss. Esther
November 28, 2009 @ 12:17 pm
This is so pretty .thoes day their is a few of u that can say this.im allso 72 and my hubbie is 73 .we know what u are taughting about . jerry
November 28, 2009 @ 12:14 pm
You’ve paired Janet’s peom with a great picture. This looks like the Giant Redwoods of Kings Canyon, California. If one were to look up the history of these trees; their longjevity and the rigors of development… They might appreciate the paring of “Picture of Life+Poem of Love.”
Thank You for putting them together in such a beautifl way.
November 28, 2009 @ 12:11 pm
We are celebrating our 50th anniversary and I’m going to put this beautiful poem inside my husband’s card. Thank you for sharing such perfect sentiments.

November 28, 2009 @ 9:59 am
This message is perfect. It really tells how I feel about you. I couldn’t express myself better. If you really understand this message you will understand my love. It is a message for people who need to understand love and I think we do.
