Who Do I See In The Mirror
A long while ago I would look in the mirror,
A beautiful girl I did see
No laugh lines, no gray hair
Smooth skin with a youthful glow,
Time gone in the blink of an eye,
I look in the mirror and wonder who is this woman
A wrinkled face and strands of gray hair,
The youthful glow has faded..
Where did the beautiful girl go,
Does she still exist,
With laugh lines and crows feet created by a thousand smiles and giggles given to me by my children and husband.
A tiny wrinkle here and there produced by worrying over a sick child, an unpaid bill, a marriage coming to an end, by life...
A strand of gray hair here and there, created by aging,can these be considered cheap highlights.
Looking in the mirror I wonder where did that beautiful young girl go,
And as I search for her I realize,
She has not gone anywhere, for inside she is still as beautiful as she was 20 years ago....and thats where real beauty lies.
I only wish I could make myself believe my own words....
