The Mirror Doesn'T Delude

Who’s that old guy in the mirror? That cannot be this young guy here! I don’t remember growing old, Gaining weight, and feeling the cold. Seems that time has gotten away from me, I fear. Mark Halliday Reflections of a Florette 20140902

Mark: This would be far more amusing if I weren't seeing that same stranger in my mirror each morning. Thanks for putting it in words. oldbuck

Well done, I've seen a few takes on this theme already and yours hits reality the hardest. Aging is a reflection that is the hardest to face, I understand that one. Good luck in the contest Mark :)
