Time Has Become

Doubtless to say time has become her foe She was quite pretty thirty years ago She uses anti aging creams and with brown hair dye cloak her gray In her attempts to keep aging at bay But time on the body creeps slow And the years on the best of them does show In her early sixties childless and without a partner in her life To any man she was never a wife In her younger years one of the most attractive young women of the town She turned a few proposals of marriage down One reason that she is single today For pride there can be a price to pay A rare beauty in her physical prime Though this is going back many years in time.
