King of hearts

Sixteen years
Love all grown up
Stronger still Posted by Emma Major at 20:57 Labels: haiku, heart, love, Poetry, valentines 
Grown-up love will put up with a lot of things that young love won't!

"Love all grown up"
Great line! Ah yes, I remember it well. (Well, at least I remember the version I want to remember .. . )

Nice thoughts, Emma. Growing up love is mostly fun but can it can also get pretty exasperating at times.

Mrs. Jim and I will be married 40 years this month. I think it is a little grey around the roots now.
