The best is yet to be

\nThe years that I’ve lived have been happy and full
\nThere’s little I’ve seen I regret
\nBut since I met you what’s to come has had pull
\nA future I cannot forget<\/p>\n
I never expected to tumble again
\nI want to see more than before
\nTomorrow I’m going to come in from the rain
\nYou’ve shown me what life should be for<\/p>\n
If I threw my challenges into the ring
\nThe prize I would strive for is you
\nYou showed me that nobody’s too old to sing
\nAnd made me see everything’s new<\/p>\n
Forgive me my impudence,\u00a0 born in your eyes
\nI want you but do you want me?
\nTomorrow can now be a pleasant surprise
\nDon’t tell me I’m waiting to see!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nInspired by<\/p>\n
Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.<\/p>\n
The opening lines of Rabbi Ben Ezra by Robert Browning.<\/p>\n
And I’m not fond of the rest of the poem, just those two lines
