At Twenty Seven

Eventually time becomes everyone's foe The fairest one in the town a decade ago Now a divorcee and the mother of three young children some weight she did gain As the fairest of the fair for long she did not remain Just only a decade beyond her life's prime One more to have become a victim of time And the biological clocks ever ticking away The youngest become victims of time one day At twenty seven in the town the fairest of all Unmarried and beautiful and the belle of many a ball But the man she loved and married and the father of her children of her quickly did tire He now has a younger beauty to make love to and admire It is true about time it does not remain as your friend It leaves us looking old why otherwise pretend Ten years ago quite a beauty to behold But in her late thirties she is overweight and looking old.
