I thought about this last night and wrote this. How do you feel when you look in the Mirror?

 

Looking in the Mirror By Franklin Price 2/3/2019 When I look into the mirror I sense a young man looking out I see an old man looking back Wonder what that's all about? The reflection of those wrinkles The sagging jowls and cheeks The white receding hairline Those things that aging seeks I'm not feeling all that old Not as old as what I see I believe the one that's looking out Is only thirty-three That's a forty year transition That is looking back at me I find it satisfactory They're both happy, don't you see

Thanks for visiting. I think I have no illusions when I look in my mirror. I just choose to have the attitude of the inside out, not the reflection.
