The once beautiful woman
Ages as time passes.
and
With each passing hour...
She grows older
But she becomes wiser too.
The sacrifice of loosing her beauty
however,
Will not slow the wisdom shes learned
For it's ony her outer appearance thats changed.
Inside...
Her heart is still pure gold
And her aging has enhanced her inner beauty.
For she is more caring.
She is more observant to nature's artistry
and
Has learned to appreciate life more.
so
In a way, she has not aged at all
But
Grown into a beautiful red rose
and
When she dies...
She'll still be a rose that never had thorns.

This could have been a really negative prompt but you made it an affirmative.
As an older lady (62 as of today) I would like to think inner beauty counts for
something. I like the thought. Linda

unneccesary capitalisation, immature construction of sentances... I'd prefer not to know your name... it is a brilliant take on the prompt, in its way, but overall I'm sorry but unimpressed
