In the soft glow of twilight's embrace,
I watch as time etches lines upon your face
A shadow, silent witness to your grace,
As you navigate life's intricate maze

I see the sparkle in your eyes slowly fade,
As the weight of years takes its toll
But still, you carry yourself with poise and grace,
A luxury only age can bestow

I remember the days of youth and laughter,
When your smile lit up the room
Now, it's a gentle curve of wisdom and love,
A testament to all you've been through

So as I watch you grow old and wise,
I am filled with a bittersweet joy
For though time may change your outward guise,
Your spirit remains forever young and coy

And so, dear one, as the shadows lengthen,
And the sun sets on another day
Know that I will always be here, watching,
A faithful companion in every way.
