Mother Mirror

Short poem about mothers in general and how aging daughters may feel about them.

Every day her image
becomes a little clearer--
my mother
in the mirror.

Do I threaten her as I become her?
When I am Woman what is there
for her to be?
A Crone perhaps?

It makes me glad
I do not have
a daughter....

I wish I could see my mother in the mirror, but then she'd
probably tell me a need a haircut. I do sometimes see my Dad
in the mirror when I;m shaving. Daughters are nice. While I
find this a bit sad, Rachel, I like the way you write. -gene.
