Antique Mirror
Oval in shape,
large in size,
filigree edges
framing lives.
Reflecting faces
similar to mine,
different shapes,
costume design.
Thru' the ages
capturing change,
fleeting moments,
coiffure arranged.
Hung in houses,
bought and sold,
sometimes new,
sometimes old.
Left in storage,
forgotten in dust,
family inheritance,
offered in Trust.
Reaching maturity,
it's value unique
now that this mirror
is considered antique.
