When the Outer Beauty Fades

When the Outer Beauty Fades

As I was driving home one night
I realized something new..
I hadn't thought of it before...
Was this, the forty something blues

I remember when I was young
I don't feel much different now
I still have longings and desires
I just don't have the energy, somehow

Is this what happens as we grow old
Does the image of self remain
Do we see the girl of yesteryear
When in the mirror we gaze

When youthful days have gone away
And the outer beauty fades
Does the world see only, the outer shell
Or the woman you are today

I pray they see the latter one
For she has so much to give
Experience, wisdom and a loving heart
From the many years, shes lived
