Sister Elaine S. Dalton tells of how she learned as a young woman what true beauty means. As a young woman, you were born to be a queen.
As I went forward
He held out his hand
His wife said not a word
Her smile was grand
I told him about me
Our eyes did not part
I spoke of my family
He looked in my heart
Then, taking his wife's hand
He said, "This is my queen!"
And now I understand
Just what deep beauty means
Her hair, white, was a crown
Her eyes sparkled, bejeweled
Through her, goodness endowed
Of life's best gifts, she was schooled
Optimism and trust showed
She knew who she was
From within she just glowed
That is what a queen does
Since then I have sought
Knowledge and virtue
From the best I've been taught
For I want to be like her too

Verse 1] He took his old love's hand Said "This is my queen" Silver threads like a crown Softest smile he'd ever seen Her laugh like morning air Her scars like secret maps Every wrinkle on her face A story he could trace and trace [Chorus] That's my queen in the quiet years Turning time into souvenirs With that brave Wide-open heart Facing every fear Teaching love by how she lives Turning losses into gifts That's my queen in the quiet years That's what deep beauty is [Verse 2] Her eyes They still threw sparks Little fireworks of grace She'd shine in kitchen light Sanctifying every place Hope folded in her hands Faith stitched into her days She moved so sure of who she was Lit the room in quiet ways [Chorus] That's my queen in the quiet years Turning time into souvenirs With that brave Wide-open heart Facing every fear Teaching love by how she lives Turning losses into gifts That's my queen in the quiet years That's what deep beauty is [Bridge] Since then I've been chasing wisdom Tracing footsteps she once knew Learning kindness like a language Trying to let the light shine through (oh yeah) If I grow into that courage If my soul grows steady too Every good thing in this life Will be something learned from you [Chorus] You're my queen in these growing years Turning doubt to souvenirs With your calm Unshaken heart Holding all my fears Teaching love by how you live Turning losses into gifts You're my queen in these growing years Now I know what beauty is
