Mirror
Passing glance in the mirror tells it's own tale
Once long copper glow enveloping a face a little less pale
Sudden realization you don't quite recognize this woman there
The one with the multiplying strands of white hair
Once crystal blue eyes sparkled in her beautiful face
Now little creases are imprinted as age leaves its trace
Something strange taking place to that once smooth skin
Now a glow of self confidence has begun to set in
Learning to love yourself for who you have become
Knowing grand kids think you are a special someone
Independent and free to live out your dreams
No longer wrapped in those youthful skeems
Taking another look in that tell tale mirror
Happy to accept that woman now shown there
