Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

My Reflection

While gazing into the mirror
At this woman that I see
I wonder what she is thinking
As she gazes back at me
Her face is so familiar
That one could almost say
She and I are both the same
Yet different in some way
I see it there within her eyes
They speak without a sound
Telling of a life she has lived
A happiness not yet found
Accepting her life decisions
Each she has learned to cope
Realizing now the sadness
It becomes a spark of hope
Chasing away the darkness
Showing a new direction
I see a tear fall down our cheek
As I smile back at my reflection

Another older one which I really like its me! Plus I wrote it like 20 years ago!;)

John Hamilton November 5, 2019 at 12:10 PM Great introspective write Brenda, curious that it was so long ago, I find these writes usually come later in life, in my case was a few years ago. We sometimes don't recognize our face as we age. Reminds me of my write Who is that man in the mirror, very similar to yours. Thanks for posting, an oldie but a goodie! Brenda Chiri November 5, 2019 at 4:13 PM Well John I had basically lost myself and had to figure out just who I was again if that makes since! I still have throughout the years but I tend to find me!;) thanks I will check our yours!;) thanks so much!;)
