My ADOR'ED AGING LOVER

                                               Knowledge in a smile.
                                               Laughter in your eyes.
                                               when the young buck
                                               swaggers in
                                               Don’t turn away---
                                               His youth cannot compare.
                                               
                                               Hold high your sterling head, My Darling
                                               Years have burnished your heart to steel
                                               Through fires of despair.
                                               Sorrow has kissed your lips with tenderness.
                                               Fierce determination has hidden power in your brow, instilled
                                               Flaring flames of passion that burn wilder in the night
                                               To ignite a joy of Life
                                               Than that boy will ever know.
