The body decays
it crumbles and turns to dust
The hair fades and dries away
Money comes and goes with fortune
Good or bad
The mind can stay sharp for many years
Yet time will pass, and you will slowly lose your sanity
But the eyes remain
They glow when everything else darkens
They remain colorful when everything else turns gray
As I watch her decay, crumble and grow old right before me
All I can stay focused on, are the eyes
