Your Face

I may not recognize your face
In the years as we grow old
Your smile has always simply been
My secret pot of gold

Your laugh is like an angel's song
That calms my deepest fears
Your touch is full of confidence
That's brought me strenth for years

Your eyes are filled with honesty
Built on honor and truth
Your hair as smooth as fine spun silk
Washed in the fountain of youth

Your name is like ambrosia
That's aged upon my lips
Your beauty like the face of old
That launched a thousand ships

Even if I don't know your face
I'll know you inside out
I'll keep you sealed inside my heart
So there can be no doubt
