I Do

I don't care
Wrinkles have appeared
I see ripples atop water
Sure as your laughter.

I don't care
Time have sagged your sociable self
I know the firmness of your faith
Your closeted strength I know so well.

I don't care
The spark in your eyes seem rare
Have simmered to a glint
Yet warm as your heart within.

I don't care
Your once sturdy hands and feet
Have slowed like wheels of time
I find as kind as you.

I don't care
Who cares for you
Like an inner guide by your side,
I do, I do, I do.
