Tattered Lace

Soft winds blow in from the sea

I’m no longer young and free

Time has caught up with me

For I cover my face

With tattered lace

The waves have hit the shore

Each one an open door

What happened to those days?

When I walked upon the shore

My future bright in so many ways

I never asked fate for any more

I cried

I laughed

I loved

I tried

We giggled as days drifted by

So like the tiny sands of time

I cover my hair now with tattered lace

Enhancing the grays around my face

But I have no regrets

As I glance into your eyes

Because you’re savvy and so wise

You saw my once beautiful face

Now like the lines of tattered lace

Because of you I have no regrets

For you can only see

The beauty in me

My love, my life, my destiny

Time has been so kind to me

The sands wither away each day

And we hold on to the molding clay

Of life’s special surprises for us

We’ve earned this day without a fuss

To now finally walk the shores

Of life and finally no more chores

Or strife

Just life

For you

For me

For eternity

You lift my veil of tattered lace

To kiss what time could not erase
