The Mirror Ii

I took a good look
In the mirror yesterday
While I gazed into the eyes
Of my younger self
With delight, seeing my face
Filled with fire, passion, and 
Hunger again, at first glance
I was ready to take on the world
That imagine suddenly changed
Into my grandma's 
Whose face and body 
Showed the battle lines of life
