what is that alchemy
spinning dross into gold
tying two distant hearts
forever together enfold
time can not tarnish
nor years tear apart
that deep well of intimacy
that only springs from open hearts
gratefully, humbly I treasure
all those whose love and care
have so crowned my heart
and wreathed my silver hair
that last stanza is simply beautiful! the whole thing is beautiful, but WOW! to the final lines ❤
So lovely, I especially love “wreathed my silver hair.”
