Reflections

Lost in the mirror
Withered by time
The face of an old man
The soul of a child

Reflecting two faces
One unaware
How time passed so quickly
Each moment so rare

And somehow the journey
Gets lost in our lives
We live for tomorrow
today pushed aside

Then awakened one day
By the road near it's end
How we dream for the chance 
To start over again
