Old love

I loved the poem by Yeats about love when old. I think this poem is wonderful. He simply states that love will last throughout the years, when it is true. I believe the old man in the poem is generally in love with his wife. He obviously cares about her very much. I think that he began to love her for who she is and not what she looks like and as he has became older it has stayed true. I think that the romance might be gone, but the love is still there. I think it is very easy to have love without the romance. I think this happens to many older adults. They just enjoy the company and memories they have with the person they decided to share their lives with.
