Tracing Lines of Lovely

My love
Has become more beautiful line by line
Her essence can be traced by looking behind
On many special moments her life defined

Her sadness
Within her lines there is a trace
Adding character to her lovely face
From her spirit eminates such grace

Her happy
Those lovely lines around her lips
I love to trace them with my finger tips
With tea in hand she smiles and sips

Her eyes
Upturned lines that seem to glow
Time is time it will not slow
With each line her spirit grows

Her individuality
It is celebrated by every line
I have never witnessed a woman more fine
A vision in every way, I'm blessed she's mine

Dedicated to my true love, who has never been more beautiful.

Yes you are blessed, not only because of your beautiful wife, but because you are able to see the beauty that grows as we age.

They say in Europe that a woman grows into her beauty. I agree with that thought.

Wow Richard, this a great poem; a tribute to the beauty of your life--that is your life. So heavenly the gift you hold, an angel and your lovely wife. Such glad fortune, my friend. That you don't take her for granted is a tribute to your character. You're a good man, Richard. See you around, Mel :)
