Humbling Mirrors

The image smiling back at me When the mirror makes me to see Is someone I don't recognize Who is that with those baggy eyes? How could I have changed into this dreadful biddy? ©by Regina Riddle September 1, 2014 Contest: REFLECTIONS OF A FLORETTE - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: nette onclaud

MIRRORS DO NOT REFLECT THE MULTI-DEMENSIONAL NATURE OF OUR BEINGS. Nicely written Regina. Every morning when I look in the mirror I wonder "Who let the old guy in my bathroom?"

Congratulations Gina! Do not worry about what the mirror shows you; mirrors are there to challenge our wisdom! We have to learn to take their views with a pinch of salt (or anti-aging cream:)) // paul
