Long Lost Friend

Long Lost Friend For the first time in forever he took a long look in the mirror. Suddenly his reflection began to come much clearer. The wrinkles on his face and hands around his eyes and brow. Reminders of the yesterdays that he survived somehow. Laugh lines etched into his skin from good times that he knew. Lines of worry ran so deep he thought he'd never make it through. Scars from battles he had fought. One reminder of a fall. A grateful tear fell from his eye he had survived it all. He saw the times that he had grieved and other tears he cried. When somewhere love had reached an end or a loved one that had died. Somehow looking there he saw a heart still on the mend. As he looked into the mirror and found his long lost friend. Edwin C Hofert
