Age should not matter

Age should not matter

I am older, my hair turned grey

my hands show lines from yesterday

yet when you smile, I feel the start

of fire still burning in my heart

They whisper, they laugh, they stare

they do not know the love we share

for time cannot command desire

nor dim the light of passion’s fire

Your touch is warm, your eyes are kind

you see the girl I left behind

and in your arms I find my youth

wrapped in your strength and your truth

So let the world point out my years

let them mock with jealous sneers

I will not bow, I will not hide

love walks with me, and you, beside

No clock can steal what we have made

no rule can break, no vow can fade

age should not matter, love is free

you are my home, and home is me
