Laura

Yes the mirrors often speak to me, 
        sometimes pictures come to see,
     My grand daughter standing there,
 in the mirror, blondish hair... 
    Yes she came to see, 
       beautiful g/child to be,
         she is here born, with us,
      our family care, Laura is a plus:) 
    as she had promised me. 

     I see people in mirrors sometimes, I saw this little girl in the mirror,
    3 months before she was born, she looked radiant.

   Don Johnson

A beautiful poem, and a very interesting and inventive one, too! When I look in the mirror all I see are more wrinkles and less hair! Being a granddad is great...I have two granddaughters, and when the little dears start getting stroppy it's time to send them home! This is one of your best writes, Don! Drink up...your Fosters in getting warm! Robert.
