The years around my eyes
have a way of surprising me
because deep down inside
I feel amazingly youthful

but, when expected changes
begin to surface
no disguise is possible
for they are openly truthful

So, My Love, will you still see
the beauty from back then
and will you hold fast to
what lies within?

(Author’s note: I believe this is something
most people think of when they’re growing
older together.  But, my words don’t
reflect any insecurity in my own marriage.
All is great there! )
