Love Poem: We Were Once Young

We Were Once Young

Our bones were once strong, 
    Our blow was once a punch, 
  Our teeth's were once healthy
                to munch, 
Our skin didn't wrinkle in a twinkle 
We didn't become old, we grew old. 

       We were once young, 
             We were once 
  "The beautiful and the handsome"
  But for this century I don't know 
       what love has become. 
   You'll give your all and get
           nothing in return. 

 I met your father back in 1960 
 during the month of November, 
That moment is one to forever 
              remember 
 He was charming, wearing a   
  smile with his cowboy's hat. 
That time he couldn't afford a bike
  But then 'True Love' was worth 
        more than fancy cars. 

    He steps closer and said;
You're the most beautiful woman 
            I've ever seen, 
  Those words took my heart
     to places its never been. 
      We were once young, 
Truth be told, true love never
                   get old.
