The Mirror

Will you still love me When I’m old and grey? Or will you let me be When my youth fades away? Will you see past the wrinkled eyes And the unwanted flab and fat? In a blink time flies; Will you forget me like that? The lustre in my hair has gone, My hands are steady no more. Will you look past the wrong And stay forevermore?

Fortunately (or unfortunately) mirrors are only a reflection of how we see ourselves and happily not how others see us. True love is blind to those faults the mirror shows to us, for true love focuses more on our inner beauty. At least that is my opinion. Really nicely expressed.

Thank you for the compliment, Chris! I do agree that true love should be looking at your heart, and not merely at what is seen.

Thank you for the compliment, and yes, it is but a reflection of our character within.

Avoid mirrors at all costs, JJ!! They are only good for shaving! Nicely done rhyme mate! And the answer should be yes!
