Mirror

Passing glance in the mirror tells it's own tale Once long copper glow enveloping a face a little less pale Sudden realization you don't quite recognize this woman there The one with the multiplying strands of white hair Once crystal blue eyes sparkled in her beautiful face Now little creases are imprinted as age leaves its trace Something strange taking place to that once smooth skin Now a glow of self confidence has begun to set in Learning to love yourself for who you have become Knowing grand kids think you are a special someone Independent and free to live out your dreams No longer wrapped in those youthful skeems Taking another look in that tell tale mirror Happy to accept that woman now shown there
