    Do You Still Want Me
    When I look into a mirror
    A friendly face I still see
    Not as young as I once was
    But not as old as I’d like to be

    I’ve done a lot of living
    Seen a lot of things
    Been many places
    There is more I’d like to see

    I’d like to have someone
    To share with in my dreams
    A smiling face to wake up to
    That accepts me as me

    I see some mature lines
    A few gray hairs here and there
    Skin not as tight and taut
    Spider veins beginning to appear

    But you know what
    When I wake up in the morning
    I still smile at an early sunrise
    Wondering what the day will bring

    Long after evenings sun has set
    I watch for an even bigger surprise
    Waiting as night’s stars appear one by one
    Right before my eyes

    I like to sit out on a porch swing
    Feel the cool evening breeze
    Wait for the man in the moon
    To come out and wink at me

    Now that you know more
    About this woman’s heart
    I have only one question
    Do you still want me?

    I still marvel how a collection of letters form words and a collection of words can form a feeling ... you have done that here ... have read many of your poems this morning ... almost all have the quality of hit songs in many genres.

    Breathtaking! Totally agree with Mindnumbing this is poetic and evokes the same feelings and longings we all need as humans.

    These are sentiments that I think most of us can relate to well, Mareann, and you've expressed them beautifully and eloquently. Thanks so much for sharing and thank you for the friend request :)

    Its funny how we all see ourselves so differently and yet we resemble each other through our words....this was a very sweet poem and quite an inquisitive one at that....Cher

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
