Mirror Mirror

Face to face no filtered glam I age with grace No fake instagram My imperfect skin Grey hair peeking through Eyebrows now thin and my eye lashes too Wrinkled smile Eye lids fold and sag Changing profile from the youth i once had The course of nature makes us recall how did we nurture? Mirror Mirror tells all! LJH - 1 Aug 2018

Laura, cute. I see you haven't posted anything for about five years. I hope you are well. We do age and know there's nothing wrong with that. It's all part of life. A face lift often looks weird, but I would not know since I'm not planning on having one!

But you probably fretted about your appearance when you were young. The nice thing about age is every wrinkle has been earned and telegraphs the real you so no one needs to wonder. Well crafted verses! Aloha! Rico
