Gone is youthful glow
No longer slim, quick, auburn
Wrinkles evident
Time washes over
Etched experience throughout
Transforming beauty
Dedicated years
Love continues to blossom
Bond stronger with time

If I may suggest just a tweak – transforming beauty – will make it 5 syllables ~
Great to see you shining in this form ~

I saw my parents’ bond grow stronger with time. They were truly dedicated to one another. When my mother died, it just about killed my dad, but he hung on for another five years…
