Reflection

I look into the mirror I reflect on what was asked I need to look inside myself as I ponder on my past Husband, father, brother, son. All roles that I have played Suffered loss, and had joyful times, memories which will not fade. I look into the mirror my reflection stares back at me I look into those mirrored eyes I observe my mortality Age has crept upon me like a hunter stalking prey I lived a long good life, a statement I'm proud to say I look in to the mirror I gaze upon my soul Mistakes were made along the way, I fell into a hole I raised a loving family I had a loving wife I wish they were beside me now, at the summit of my life I look into the mirror I see who stares at me An aged old man lived a long long life feels like eternity. Husband, brother, father, son. now the time has come to go. As I look in to the mirror the time it seems to slow I look out of the mirror I see my shell upon the floor. I know my time had come. I saw the light through the open door. I hear the voices of my friends, and family who passed Once again I am husband, father, brother, son. Back together at long, long last x
