You Are Still Beautiful
There is a dogwood tree planted in our front lawn.
It reveals its beauty with each glorious dawn.
It was pretty when young, but lovelier with age.
Majestic white flowers, like modeling on stage.
You gave your body so our children could be born.
I know you think you look rotund and very worn.
Yet, to me you are still as beautiful as when
Our first date and first kiss and our love did begin.
So, don’t think I will want any other woman.
I could not do that and see myself a true man.
I love you for yourself and just the way you are.
You are lovelier than the whitest dogwood flow’r.
