A Former Rose Of Port Fairy

She was a former Rose of Port Fairy where the white waves of Pacific roll But the years have left their mark upon her the years on us all do take toll Though for one in her mid to late fifties she certainly does look okay With anti ageing cream she hides time wrinkles and with brown dye she covers her gray With primary school going grandsons and granddaughters her biological clock ticking away Back in the late sixties to the mid seventies I heard one who knew her then say That she was Port Fairy's finest though since then many a yesterday And beauty of youth does not last long and prime beauty with one does not stay In her fifties a two time divorcee she may give marriage one more try The old saying of the third time lucky in her case who knows might apply Love in her life once more has blossomed the joy of love is a marvellous thing Her new love she met in October in the prime of Victoria's Spring A former Rose of Port Fairy with brown dye she covers her gray But time does take care of all beauty and time it keeps ticking away.
