Changes

Where is the maiden that once I knew,
Now a woman, as her shape bears true,

Where is the body that filled me with desire,
Now swollen and heavy and easy to tire,

Where is the girl who knew no fear?
Now happy, content . . . craving beer?

Where is the White Lady that I courted on high,
Now dressed in a smock with shoes that won’t tie,

Where is the love that I shared with my wife,
Now growing inside her, a brand new life.

Where is my heart?
With Eowyn and the life about to start.
