Say My Name Acrostic

Some see in the mirror a stranger
A reflection of them unknown
Years have changed the them in their heads

My God, how that belly has grown!
Yes it can be unkind, an assault to the mind

Names we know as us in our head
Are more than able to calm the haunted
Music to the ears that calms your fears
Even as you are, you are still wanted!

Thank goodness we're "still wanted," in spite of the way age has affected us, Pat. Just today I was thinking how I never look in a mirror anymore. Too depressing. Have a fabulous new year! Hugs, carolyn

I answered this before but my email has gone haywire. Seems to be doing ok now though. Those who know the you inside, see the true beauty!......pat
