The Heart Has No Wrinkles
The Heart Has No Wrinkles
By Elton Camp
When their marriage was new
Sam and Meg vowed to be true
To love each other from the heart
Until death, never would they part
Handsome Sam was quite a man
Beautiful Meg was a lady grand
They worked at day, loved at night
In each other took intense delight
When the children came along
To a loving family they did belong
Into adults the kids disappeared
Sam and Meg, middle age neared
Years passed and the two grew old
Love changed, but never drew cold
Their days of youth very long past
The end of life approaching fast
Both wrinkled skin, elderly and gray
“The heart has no wrinkles,” they say
