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.
