Love Reborn

The blush of youth was gone
As years had passed her by
Her mirror didn't lie
She wept and carried on
A sad and bitter song
For young love that had died.

And then one winter morn
A sailor came to town
To search for Molly Brown
For years he was forlorn
He'd left her by the shore
His love must now be found.

When on the street they met
Their love was heaven sent.

You used approximate rhymes sometimes, but other than that, very close to form! A sweet tale of love reunited. Congrats for your win, Laura.
