My Darling…
Youth isn’t wasted on the young, but love is often wasted by them. I am grateful to be “old” and understand the treasure of love and to be deeply thankful for the wealth of your affection.

Love,
like hope,
springs
eternal.
It knows
no age
limits,
no retirement
dates,
no physical
or mental
infirmities.
