They say that time is the great thief, <br />Robber of beauty and of looks, <br />I have heard it spoken times before, <br />Have read of it in books, <br /> <br />But as the years go by with you, <br />I realize more and more, <br />You just get that much better, <br />So much better than before. <br /> <br />For what may have caught my eye, <br />Was surely your pretty face, <br />But over the years I have come to know, <br />Your true beauty and inner grace, <br /> <br />For your true beauty is not seen, <br />Not what you choose to show, <br />It is your beauty that lies inside, <br />The beauty I've come to know, <br /> <br />And as the years pass on by, <br />You age just like fine wine, <br />And every year that passes by, <br />Makes me glad you're mine. <br /> <br />Far from your beauty ever fading, <br />I feel that I must say, <br />You just keep on getting better, <br />And more beautiful every day.<br /><br />Alan W.
