Age is in your Heart

As I look at my face on the mirror
To see the lines creeping in
I find no sign that I am aging
For I don't see the signs
The wrinkles and deep lines.
No, I only see a face that's all aglow
Filled with hopes for a bright tomorrow.
I may be growing old, my friend
But I don't see its outward signs
In my attitude and face
No trace of rancour and regret
Over years gone by or needs unmet
I'm just as happy for who I am
Content with whatever I possess
I have children of my own
A husband who loves me all alone
I live each moment with peace and joy
I see a rainbow behind dark clouds
For in my heart I truly feel
Young, ageless and truly blest.
