A Portrait of Love

A picture of you remains 

In my heart you’ve never changed
     
You’re the loveliest woman I’ve ever known

Time could not erase the ageless beauty of your face 

Forever painted on me you'll be

The most adorable Portrait of Love I see

What we older women lose in physical beauty is replaced by an even more beautiful inner wisdom. It's rare to have a male sing our praises. Lovely tribute Arturo.

I grew up with three sisters...girls in and out the house...You can imagine all the stories I've heard...between my aunt and my mother I still have a healthy love account...I was fortunate...

A wonderful thought Arturo, dedicating this beautiful poem to the older women, including your mother, the icing on the cake. A fave for the thoughtfulness and the reminder that age may come but love and romance will always be there....Maria

I believe it Maria... the kind of love I have for my mother...I can't begin to describe...Wouldn't know what to say...I put some words together hoping to capture it...paint it...a little better than thinking about it, don't you think...Always lovely to hear from you...Peace to you...
