About this ebook
This book is written by an eighty six yer old recent widower. The poems and Musings are here to show that age doe not diminish love and romance.
Romance Romance the greatest mental Gift to mankind. Yes I said it. What more wonderful than the Overwhelming feeling of love. To be able to be near And to Smell the scent, to caress the tresses, to gently hold a hand, This is rapture at its acme. When there are times that I Am Alone without you the seconds Go painfully slow. To espy you Again is as if the heavens have Brought forth the shining sun. The flowers bloom in all their Radiance and aromas. To be in love is all. This is a reality made In heaven. L.D.G.Lester Greenman

I am eighty five years of age
A heart of love is like a summer bloom in your mind
I lay in my bed dreaming
My sleeping companion

I look at the walls
We are humans
When there is no love to drive
Romance
Shit
I dislike formal dinners at home
Gabrielle
Making Love with you
My love forever dear Harriet
To Harriet my dearest
You are my dear friend who happens to be female
Christmas is coming
The shower
Jesus, my Jewish Brother
What we Christians and Jews do not see
The castle inside of me

To my children who love me
Do not go gentle into that good night

I meet you in haste

Our pristine friendship will be forever.

We deal with minds that are slowing down and our bodies reluctant to move easily
We see the Spector of our demise creeping closer and closer
Yet we endeavor to smile and to look upwards to the sun of happiness.
Yes, we deserve a medal, kudos and respect for our endeavors.
We
