Reflection

Who is staring in the mirror? Just yesterday I left my dorm Took some notes then drank some beer. Living life was just the norm. Who is staring in the mirror? Young man out on a night so clear Chasing her with stars in my eye Would you like to dance, my dear? Who is staring in the mirror? Swinging a hammer from above, Building a life for the one I love, Sharing dreams, hopes and fear. Who is staring in the mirror? The father of children young and bright Who add on years yet bring delight. How quick is the passing of the year. Who is staring in the mirror? I don’t know the man in there Wrinkled with the years and gray. Funny I don’t feel that way.
