I Still Have Hope

She enjoys dating younger men But, not young enough for her to go to pen, So, for her belief I must just cope; But, I still have Hope. A younger man I am not So, for her company I have not been sought, Younger men indeed desire older women That is the curse of that sexual demon. I have been told that I am not young enough for her Even if spiritual and mentally I was the one she would prefer, I am just not adolescent enough for her to date; Too bad, I can't be her jail bait. I thought then of a reverse circumstance And maybe I thought, I would have a chance, She once had said while being drunk and much bolder That she too likes a man, who is much older. She likes an older man who is retired And one who is close too, but has not yet expired, A man that she could take to a family barbecue; Then later, to have him as a rendezvous. I am indeed an older male But, not older than her parents she did tell, So, I will wish and sadly I will mope; But, I still have Hope. Randy L. McClave
