Youth’s magic now eluding grasp

Ancient my years, time’s bitter wrath

Locks once thick and wavy brown

Now silver strands upon the ground

Eyes keen that captured every hue

Dimly seek one last view

As memory fades and nothing lasts

Have I forgotten all that’s passed?

Not all is gone, I’ll not forget

The way we loved, the way we kissed

And in these years remaining few

I am so blessed, having shared them with you

How sweet these days of now, not then or when

What matters most, what lives within

Its love you see, it has always been

Two hearts as one, best lovers, best friends
