Listen to poem:
I See Her In My Mirror
i see her in my mirror now
the years have not erased how in my youth
i loved every inch of her kind face
and would not have changed a single iota
her heart made her the most beautiful woman
to ever have walked this earth
and in my youth nothing and no one
could have convinced me otherwise
i see her in my mirror now
yet still i need remind myself
to make the leap and to forgive
my wrinkles and other ravages of time
difficult to make the leap that i’m now older
and gone the days of youthful grand-daughter
in the mirror i see that i’m now her
and must forgive the ravages of time
