I am pleased to say

When I first met my lover, she was just in her twenties;

She was stylish and charming, a real daughter of seventies;

Thirty odd years passed and wow, I met her in her fifties

She looked prettier than ever, even more than her twenties;

The passage of time kindly added grace to her beauty;

I am pleased to say my lover now is far beyond her twenties.
