ageless love

She wakes beside me every day
  and stumbles from our bed
  her hair all mussed, eyes full of sleep
  she's lovely as the day we wed

though many years have passed us now
  my hair has grown both scarce and white
  when I see her I still behold
  the girl I met one summer's night

And I still like to look at her
  she makes me laugh and smile
  when I tire and my bones ache
  for her I'll go on for a while

When oft' I gaze into bright eyes
  I still become quite lost
  why she's stayed through all this time
  no matter what the cost

And as the years pile up on me
  with her I'll live my life
  and always see the girl within
  my never aging wife
