Who’s in That Mirror
April 24, 2009
By: Rose Marie Rideout
I looked in the mirror
and what did I see,
Some other face
Looking back at me.
This can't be mine
I haven’t aged I’m told,
It’s some other stranger,
Cause I’m not that old.
Look at those wrinkles,
Those age spots so clear,
If I was looking so young,
They wouldn’t be there.
What’s that hanging,
almost to my waist
and that over lapped belly,
at my age, is a disgrace.
My mind says I’m twenty,
My feet want to race,
My heart’s slowing down,
I only move at one pace.
My eyes they see shadows,
My body feels pain,
I’ll have to slow down to survive,
Old age has nothing to gain.
Love you sis,
Selena

The fade of the body is inevitable so do the best you can with it; what don't fade, if we nourish right, are the heart and soul and yours are strong and definitely in the right place, and you make us strong, too.
