Mirror Mirror

MIRROR MIRROR 

Mirror, mirror, what do you see?
Yes you, fine lady looking back at me,
So, you're not the young woman 
in the magazine,
Losing sight of her true reflection 
on a beautiful scene.

You’re the best authentication, 
of the image of new,
Makeup should not be a plaster 
making you other than you.

Close the book and take a look 
at what doesn't demean.
Picture perfect isn’t perfect 
showing whats not meant to be seen.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, 
It's not easy being green,
Being jealous of someone else,
If you know what I mean.

The other side is always 
appearing a shade more green,
You are meant to truly discover, 
the you you haven't yet seen.

Step aside, mirror mirror, 
give it all a rest,
Put the fine lady to a reality test,

Sweet sixteen ain't twenty twenty nine,
And 29 ain't 40, 
Look your best in your dress, 
whether formal or sporty. 

Mirror, mirror, 
now reflecting a fading rose,
Love the story more than loving 
how the story goes.

There's beauty in every stage 
of the human's life.
If you're a husband reading this poem,
Please encourage your wife.
