beauty in age
today we live in a society which worships youth above all,
men and women think they can raise their esteem by fixing the parts that fall.
these lost men look upon and do not respect their wives,
in their hearts desiring something younger, fresher, to validate their lives.
and women go chasing the fountain of youth which really does exist,
its the streams of living water from God, what they look for
evaporates like mist.
i know you think i charm and say things because they sound “right”
but God has given me a heart to see the truth of beauty,
i see the world and i see His light.
He has shaped and formed you from head to toe,
every wrinkle, curve or mole.
it just seems to me that erasing His work would make us seem less whole.
so i honor and cherish the history your beautiful form speaks,
because there are memories in our scars,
and life lived in each dimple and peak.
