My Reflection

My Reflection In the mirror who did I see? I saw my reflection staring back at me. But in the next mirror upon the wall I saw there was no one there at all. Had I left my own image behind For another person to come and find? On looking in a mirror what would you do, If you saw someone who was not you? Barry Stebbings 08/14/18

Well, it would be a shock. It is good that we get old gradually or else looking in the mirror would shock us all. Thanks for stopping by. Sara

I suppose there are times in life we ALL look in the "mirror" and see someone we don't recognize! I like this, Barry! Janice
