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."
