Reflect
Reflect
I saw an old man today
He looked as if he’d gone astray
His eyes were hollow and sunken in
The whiskers grey upon his chin
His hair was thin and out of place
The wrinkles many upon his face
His calloused hands stood out so plain
His crooked fingers full of pain
His stature frail and beaten down
His knees so bowed as I looked down
One last glance I did take
That’s when I made the worst mistake
The mirror my friend tells no lies
It speaks the truth until you die
