Sea of Gold

When I look at you,
I see a smile that is as broad as the sea,

Not the winkles of your age.

When I look at you,
I see eyes that are as deep as the ocean,

Not the redness of time.

When I look at you,
I see skin that is as soft as a pool,

Not the stiffness of age.

When I look at you
I see a body that is as strong as the surf,

Not weak or tired.

When I look at you,

I see the person with whom I’ve spent my life
I would not change any moment of our time together,

Not even for a sea of gold.
