Within Her Eyes

Within her eyes, I see myself there That youthful self with golden hair Strong and ambitious and oh so young Climbing my ladder rung by rung The funny thing is I see her too That image of perfection I did woo Yet these eyes they see her still Spirited and lovely with iron will The years can't fade the love we cherish A flower suspended that never can perish I love this woman, I share with you my truth We ride waves of forever and eternal youth.
