Will You Still Love Me

Will you still love me…when my lustrous black hair your fingers are ever drawn to, turns thin and dull and gray? When that youthful glow and my rosy cheeks wrinkle and my beauty fades? Will you still love me…When you no longer recognize the sultry sway of my hips? The sparkle in my eyes goes flat, along with the full pout of my lips? Will you still love me…When the smile you love is lost, one by one…when all you see when I grin at thee, is my pink, and toothless gums? Yes, but will you really still love me…When my lovely figure deflates like a balloon? When all my rounded curves dry up, as well as my once fertile womb? Will you still love me…if my thoughts become lost in time? My once sharp wit grows dull, and disease invades my mind? Will you still love me…When my youth is gone and time has taken its toll? For I know I'll still love you,my dear…because I love your soul.

A beautiful poem of love for someone you cherish. I have been married for 44 years and she is still as beautiful to me today as she was the day we met.

"Let me not to the marriage of true minds/ Admit impediments; love is not love/ Which alters when it alteration finds," When I read your poem I was reminded of Shakespeare's Sonnet-116 where he speaks of the immortality of love. True love withstands time and decay. It binds two hearts equally in adversity and prosperity, in joy and sorrow. A beautiful poem dear Crystol

Dear Crystol, I have been married 42 years and yes we still love each other with our graying hair and weakened bodies. Your poem reminds me of the song Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? I love your great questions, and if they are true to you, they will always say yes. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
