Her Life Begins At Forty

Her life begins at forty, 
Shining as the sun so bright; 
The beautiful bride years ago
Remains the same day and night.

Her young and pretty face
Is always an inspiration; 
She brings hope and strength, 
As well as joy and elation.

Everytime I hold her hand, 
So soft, warm and tender; 
She makes me feel real safe
During the rugged weather.

The sweet sound of her voice
Is refreshing to my ears; 
She takes away the sorrow, 
Saving me from falling tears.

Her heart, mind and soul
Say that she feels my care; 
Even the billion stars above
Witness that love fills the air.

Her name Mai Leen is unique
But sounds in familiarity; 
She was born to be my love, 
Her life begins at forty.
