Seeing an elderly couple falling in love
just isn’t the same as young people falling in love.

You don’t see many movies about old love,
like you do with young love.

But, I believe falling in love has the same highs for the elderly as for the young.

However, the sad part is, the effects of aging
can creep in, illnesses, death at any moment.

Possibly a dementia obliterating one of the
elderly lover’s minds ending their love.

To me, the worst is with death closing in when one suddenly dies, the horror, the heartache.

However, for the brave, the romantics, maybe elderly love is worth it despite the risks.

Jane, although educated, chose to be
a homemaker wife.

Some women derided her, a sellout
instead of a girl boss,

settling for being a Stepford wife,
subservient to a man.

I say, the girl bosses are no better
than homemaker Jane.

I say, her job is possibly even
more important,

raising her kids as well as she can
a stay at home mother

always there for her children,
never a conflict with a demanding career

Besides whether a woman choses a
career or being a homemaker

both are equal opportunities to live
fulfilling lives.

The problem is the economics, some
families need two incomes

to survive in this hustle bustle world,
to afford even bare necesities.

Up early every day foraging the ground
to make a living, his currency, his pay,
worms, insects, grubs and snails,
fruit in shrubs and trees.

Never a complaint, never a gripe,
always on time for work everyday.
Can’t afford to take any time off,
never a vacation.

A robin’s work is never done.
