Long Ago Locket
When you notice my wrinkles
mahogany hair turned gray
look back on the locket
you will find it in your heart
I don't look that way now
but long ago I turned heads
at times I felt beautiful
but now I just feel old
except when you tell me
I'm still beautiful in your eyes

Enjoy such deep joy it is beyond price.
But as they look at pictures taken way back then, their self image changes to one of worry about what's happening to them physically.
But the men who love them and continue to love them for more than just their physical beauty but their inner beauty that shows in behavior and no other way.
My partner asks me that question every day. She hasn't changed in 30 years.
