I wonder when in the golden years of life
will you still love me..the way you love me now?
will you care how many wrinkles?
will be adorned upon my brow

should i just discard the pictures?
of yesterday's naive youth
and forget the once flawless skin
and get drunk on sweet vermouth

the soft skin, full lips the bright eyes
i once had, that first attracted you to me
will i hide in the shadows
so no one will turn away
will you still love the lady
from untouched photos of yesterday

will your love be deep,deep beneath my skin
deeper than the ocean
in love with my toothless grin

love is blind  to many things
blind to imperfections
like a flaw in a diamond ring

i suppose we lose our eyesight
as we get older for a reason
so the lines of lifes travels
will add a touch of season

do i really want him to get laser surgery?
i don't think so anymore
but i will get it for him
so i can be the same girl he adores

they say women don't notice mens flaws
because they are too busy trying
to be the perfect woman he loved before

a man does not have to worry
about a youthful appearance
Or work out at the gym
he is too busy assuring her
she is still beautiful and slim



A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
- Paul Valery (1871-1945)

Ahhhhhhhhh but we do worry my friend, we just don't tell about it nor admit it.  Some of us just don't know about it.  Now don't go changing ANYTHING about you through surgery.  It won't change the real you anyway and that is the you that any SMART man would want.  Wonderful piece from you my friend.

Oh Victoria, down deep in your heart, you will always be the sweet Victoria we know and love. The greatest beauty is on the inside, and the words that bleed from your hearts pen are so very beautiful and loving. Thank you for sharing, my friend!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
