Reflections

I look in the mirror What do I see Not the face that used to be Greying hair and double chin Fat puffy cheeks that once were thin Wrinkled face and furrowed brow Even my ears are different somehow As I look closer, to scrutinise My neck and shoulders are thrice the size They used to be before My bosom pointed to the floor As for my waist, where is that? Gone forever, hidden by fat My stomach that was flat and trim Pokes straight out when I'm breathing in I look in the mirror What do I see? Not the girl I used to be

I can relate, Shirley, sometimes when I look in the mirror I see a stranger looking back at me. All the best my friend. John
