Love Grows Stronger With Time
 

It doesn't matter to me
What happens in our future,
As long as I have you,
My heart will be full and nurtured.

As we grow older, and our lives change,
Physical appearances are never the same.
Illnesses come and make one weak,
But it remains a life with you I seek.

Don't doubt for a minute how I feel,
For of all the women on earth I chose the best deal.
You speak often of growing old,
Watching your wrinkles become more bold.

Love handles growing larger day by day,
Hair that falls out and will not stay.
All these things does not a woman be,
It's what is in your soul that pleases me.

Dedicated to Chinook, the love of my life.



Note:  This was originally written to a male, and I changed "men" to "women" and "man" to "woman".  I think it still fits just as well.   The reference to hair falling out fits men better, but  the real meaning of the piece remains intact.
