Seasons of Love and Marriage - 6

Seasons of Love and Marriage                     VI I look into the mirror, and my head shakes. seeing the wrinkles that crinkle in waves, with a smirk staring or possibly glaring back. If I feel that time has been stolen from me seeing what I see, well, Lordy me, what do you see when you set your pearlescent eyes upon the likes of me.      ---------------------- In '83, my shoulders were square, and I had locks of curly red hair, and you ... oh, by golly, Molly me! You were the prettiest thing that ever could be.    ------------------------ In '03, my shoulders were still square but my belly was beginning to round. But you could still wear that heart-stopper of a wedding dress, still looking better then all the rest.     ------------------------ In '13, my shoulders .... Well, let's not talk about these in a crowd, please. But I caught that guy giving you a second look, I smiled, knowing that fellow had great taste in my book.    -------------------------- In '23, we'll have been married, coming upon a big forty years. Still with my wrinkles, warps, scars twice repaired shoulders, and yes, gimpy leg , you hold my hand as we stroll in the park.    --------------------------- Yes, even at our age, holding hands ... because I know you know when I look into your eyes, seeing clear to the bottom of your loving heart, I see the gal I wed in '83, gazing right back, whom I knew on day one, I would never part.
