THINGS CHANGE.......

WHY DO WE LET LIFE BECOME A CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO LOOK YOUNG....WHEN REALLY ALL THAT MATTERS IS HOW WE FEEL.  WE CAN CONTROL FEEL, BUT NOT LOOKS AS WE AGE. YOU SEE THIS PICTURE OF TWO PEOPLE WHO LOVE EACH OTHER AND PROBABLY HAVE FOR 50 OR MORE YEARS AND THE ONLY THING THEY SEE IN EACH OTHER IS TWO YOUNG HAPPY PEOPLE THAT FELL IN LOVE. I FOUND THIS POEM THAT SAYS IT ALL SO NICELY.
"A PRETTY WOMAN AND A HANDSOME MAN."
"WE MET, WE DATED, THEN OUR COMMITMENT BEGAN, I WAS A PRETTY WOMAN, YOU WERE A HANDSOME MAN.
IT WAS 50 YEARS AGO WHEN OUR MARRIED LIFE BEGAN, I WAS A PRETTY WOMAN, YOU WERE A HANDSOME MAN
IT IS EASY TO REMEMBER THE MEMORIES, OUR CHILDREN, OUR PLANS, WHEN I WAS A PRETTY WOMAN AND YOU WERE A HANDSOME MAN
THOUGH THE YEARS HAVE WEATHERED OUR FACES, AND WE DO THE BEST WE CAN, AM I STILL A PRETTY WOMAN , AND YOU, A HANDSOME MAN?
THE YEARS SEEM TO FALL AWAY WHEN YOU GAZE LOVINGLY AT ME, I LOOK AT YOU AND REMEMBER THE WAY IT USE TO BE.
NOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME WITH LOVE SHINING FROM YOUR EYES, I AM STILL A PRETTY WOMAN AND YOU, A HANDSOME MAN.
ETERNITY AWAITS US, WE'LL GREET IT HAND IN HAND, WHERE I'LL ALWAYS BE A PRETTY WOMAN AND YOU A HANDSOME MAN.     (MARIAN SHELBY)
THE PEOPLE WHO FALL IN LOVE AND GROW OLD TOGETHER GRACEFULLY ARE THE LUCKIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH.  I WISH IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME..........
