The Age Around My Eyes
I know there's age around my eyes
And grey runs through my hair
But I'd love to spend my life with you
And always have you near
I want to hold you in my arms
And kiss you every night
Show you what it means to love
Let you feel love deep inside
As my skin begins to age with time
And my vision slowly fades
I will use the memory of our love
To guide me through each day
Time has helped me understand
The true beauty of your soul
The love you shared has filled my heart
And made my life more whole
I know there's age around my eyes
And grey runs through my hair
But I'd love to spend my life with you
If you will have me there

And made my life more whole
I know there's age around my eyes

My first poem of 2014. A childhood friend and continued great friend of mine, Bob Browning gave me the idea for this poem and told me to run with it. This is what I came up with.
