Here's a poem I have always liked.

Let me grow lovely,
growing old-
So many fine things do;
Laces, and ivory, and gold,
And silks need not be new;

And there is healing in old trees,
Old streets a glamour hold;
Why may not I, as well as these,
Grow lovely, growing old?

- Karle Wilson Baker (1878-1960)

I know a woman I love and admire who exemplifies this poem. I don't think it is just a matter of physical beauty, but of warmth, character and a positive outlook.
