The Beauty of Love

The question is asked,"Is there anything more beautiful in life than a boy and a girl clasping clean hands and pure hearts
in the path of marriage? 
Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?"
And the answer is given:  "Yes, there is a more beautiful thing.
It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path.
Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped; 
their faces are seamed, but still radiant;
their hearts are physically bowed and tired,
but still strong with love and devotion for one another.
Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. 
Old love."
