Too Late Now

Looking in the mirror my eyes meet  
fine lines on my brow and crows feet,
and as I view
a wrinkle or two
emerge. I give up in defeat.

After a life time of neglect I'm aware
that no cream or potion could ever repair
too many days in the sun,
moisturising not done,
Oh aging is so unfair.
