Lurking Age

Once Youth loved me
As age lurked within
Trying to escape
Yes, I know you will win

Bright eyes saw
Smooth flowing black hair
Lips taut and moist
This glistening smile
Knew well

Age stay away
Pity my face
Grant me one more day
Of grace

Once Youth loved me
And, I loved it back
Throw away the mirror
No need for it to crack

Age be kind
Don't make me lose my mind
This glistening smile
Will not be left behind
