An Older Couple Reflecting On Their Relationship

This poem is about an old couple who, despite all their bickering and arguing, still love one another. They sit together and are comfortable being grumpy and are still being carried along by whatever life has to throw at them. This is a poem written for my mum and dad.

Yes, we still have it, a twinkling in the eye!
