Oh! if they marvel at my fervent gaze,
Though youth’s swift pulse has tempered in its pace,
They know how love deepens through the days,
Nor how its refines with time’s embrace.
For beauty blooms not only the face,
But in the soul that kindness does adorn;
Each line upon her brow, a sacred trace,
Of we’ve shared and trials we have borne.
Her laughter as sweet as springtime’s song,
Her wisdom glows like autumn’s golden hue;
And though the years may stretch both and long,
My heart beats ever ardent, strong, and true.
Till death shall call me to eternal rest,
My shall burn as brightly as the sun;
For in grace, I’ve found life’s very best—
A passion that last till all is done.
