Love Poem: Then & Now

Then & Now

When I was young
  seventy was a long way ahead
When I was young
  the future was left unsaid
When I was young
  the 19th century was history
Now I an old
   the 20th is my-story
Now I am old
    the past stays bright as day
When I was young
    tomorrow seemed to delay
and then
When I was young
   your beauty captivated me
Now I am old
  that same grace each day I see

Inspired by Eccesiates 12:1-7 NIV
