LATE LOVE, by LORNA TALLENT KIDWELL

First Line: Serene and calm they were
Last Line: "of course. What better time, my dear?"
Subject(s): Aging
Serene and calm they were,
As only the old can be --
The little old man in his visiting clothes
And the little old lady at tea.
A romance here, a love affair,
That was plain to see --
The look he gave his hostess
As she handed him his tea.
"Does love come so late -- thus -- in the fall?"
Yet void her voice of doubt, of fear.
He answered, his head bent close,
"Of course. What better time, my dear?"
