Loved
As I got up and looked at Albert
He seemed a bit surprised,
For he saw me with out make up
As he looked me in the eyes
He saw me as I really am
Without the gook and clothes
He saw me in my jammies
And heaven only knows
That once I was a young girl
But that was in the past
Now I am much older
And my beauty is fading fast
I still have the same smile
And I have mellowed quite a bit
I still run, sing, and play,
And I have not lost my wit
I wake up every morning
And know that I am loved
And each day I count my blessings
That comes only from above
All that love comes to me
each and every day
As I walk with Him and talk with Him then
God sends me on my way
