betcha by golly wow

i like the old
r and b songs, marvin gaye.
teddy,
al green
barry white.
archie bell and the drells.
the drifters.
brooke benton.
motown.
i know all the words,
but fail
now on the high notes.
i can't croon like i used
to when i was a mere
child of fifty.
but i play them all still.
they bring back
such memories.
of the love going on,
or ending,
or just inbetween.
sweet, and bitter sweet,
each tune giving me
a rise, a chill, each and every
one still fresh,
still new.
