I Am Not As Youthful

I'm not as youthful 
As I used to be
Am I still beautiful?
What would you say to me?

I'm not as youthful
As I'd like to be
My muscles are painful
My back aches constantly

I'm not as youthful
As I hope to be
To God I'm beautiful
That matters most to me

Yeah, back and muscle aches are annoying! Haha... Did not use to get them when I was younger.
