Me
________________________

I look in the mirror,
what do I see
a much different woman
that used to be me.

My hair is greying,
I weigh more then I should
my health is not doing
as good as it could.

I am on more pills,
the most in my life
but I have to keep moving
cause I'm a mommy and wife.

I do what I must,
try as I can
not sure of what's next
in God's ultimate plan.

Things happen for a reason,
I guess that it's so
but I'll stay as long as I can
till I have to let go.
