When Newness Fades

When the excitement of newness fades,

and years of being take their toll,

when things that matched,

seem less sure,

perhaps you should discard,

replace, or maybe just renew,

by looking close again,

to see what wasn’t obvious before.

Old patterns fade and fabrics wear,

but shape and form,

a solid base,

can ease together,

and once again embrace.

This is a beautiful expression of the happiness that can be found in growing old together and sharing experiences over the years. Great job! Wonderful photo to evoke these words!
