She looks in the mirror;
What does she see?
Hair stained grey by the cruel hands of time;
A face lined with age, worn past its prime.
He looks at her;
What does he see?
A crown of silver upon the head of a queen;
The face of the loveliest girl he's ever seen...
Thank you Mae and Jason; I appreciate your comments.
Chrystel,
As it is often said, "beauty is only skin deep".A poem which exposes a myth and so well written.
Thank you
Keith
Wow! This is lovely! Kudos! ?
Mae
And there, my friend, you have hit the nail smack on the head. The silver crowned queen. I think as we get older our eyes get better at seeing beauty, we see beyond the depth of skin.
