What is Love?

Sixty years ago we were the talk of
the neighbourhood, people asking one
another where were our parents? Two
skinny young kids moved into the house
and no one sighted the adults until finally
the question was asked of us directly and
puzzled though we were, we responded
well, we were the adults married three
years before moving into our first modest
little house. Two years later the first of
our children joined us and then another
two and perhaps by then no one thought
of us as juveniles pretending to be adults.
We're alone together now, no children to
share the house with, instead two little
dogs who keep us busy and involved
with close family life. No one in this
neighbourhood asks where our children
are since we no longer resemble youth
though we remain 'young for our age'.
We laughed back then when everyone
took us for brother and sister, and now
after all these years together when we
laughed through life our devotion to our
union somehow led us to resemble one
another, an amusing transformation in
response to which we're still laughing.
