Only Happens To Be So

Yesterday we were one day younger we do age a bit by the day
And nobody ever grows younger life does not work in this way
In her time the town's greatest beauty in brown hair dye she cloaks her gray
A grandmother in her late fifties youth with anyone does not stay
Her husband left her for one younger and time it has become her foe
No longer the beauty that she was going back a few decades ago
Though of her diet she is quite careful she struggles to keep her weight down
Of late she has taken to jogging after work in the park of the town
That time becomes everyone's master is a thing one ought not to deny
We cannot recapture our lost youth though to do so in our hardest we try
The men who admired her in her prime years nowadays younger women admire
And the one man close to her age who her does fancy to get to know she feels no desire
The fairest in the town in her prime years going back a few decades ago
That time fades the greatest of beauty only happens to be so.
