Her Life Begins At Forty (April 21,2016) Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

Her life begins at forty,
Shining as the sun so bright;
The beautiful bride years ago
Remains the same day and night.

Her young and pretty face
Is always an inspiration;
She brings hope and strength,
As well as joy and elation.

Everytime I hold her hand,
So soft, warm and tender;
She makes me feel real safe
During the rugged weather.

The sweet sound of her voice
Is refreshing to my ears;
She takes away the sorrow,
Saving me from falling tears.

Her heart, mind and soul
Say that she feels my care;
Even the billion stars above
Witness that love fills the air.

Her name Mai Leen is unique
But sounds in familiarity;
She was born to be my love,
Her life begins at forty.
