Who's That Man In the Mirror

The Man in the Mirror ~ is Certainly not me Who’s that ~ Who can it be He’s Old and Gray ~ with eyes half asleep Who’s that ~ Who can he be I’m Young ~ Handsome ~ Strong like a bull On the town ~ fishing ~ got girls on the hook I can Run a Marathon ~ from Boston to Maine Shattered goes the Mirror ~ that Man is a shame The Man in the Mirror ~ is Certainly not me Who’s that ~ Who can he be He’s Cold and Shaking ~ Without energy Who’s that ~ Who can it be It’s Not me ~ Oh no ~ It’s Not me ~ For sure ~ It Can't be Me

Another great write about a subject I know so well. I sometimes think I'm looking more like my mom every day. Even though she had dark hair and I have light hair. Don't get me wrong. I love her. I wrote a poem, Lillian about her :)

It would be nice to read it, Debbie...Send it...I can't believe it... when I look in the mirror...the person I see is not me...Now, I'm not one of those who concludes, " I'm getting older" So something is wrong with the mirror...It's not me

like a quarrel with oneself...the mirror is only a scapegoat... Best wishes:)

It was a fun write...When I looked in the mirror one day...I said to myself ...Who is that? And it was that moment I got the inspiration...

As the song says, make that change. The gift is writing with emotion and once you see the feelings on paper you can make that change. Kep writing

Awwww...That man in the mirror is the same man he's always been...the mirror tells whopper lies! My mirror's been trying to tell me for years that I'm not 30 anymore.

I don't know about your mirror...I got rid of mines ... And you're right... I mean, I think it's a conspiracy... they're selling mirror to kill us faster... How wonderful it is to see you here...Young and beautiful Rhoda... All the best to you my friend...God bless

Aging is not an easy part of life but we are lucky to be alive and as healthy as we are..Some don't make it to be as old and some who make it to be as old are in very poor health so we can count our blessings this Thanksgiving..Thanks for the trips to my page..I appreciate you reading and commenting on my work..Sara

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Arturo. Yes if only what one sees in the mirror can reflect what we feel in our minds. I love how you have worded this, The contrast so well depicted....Maria

Ola Maria... An idea drifted by for " I started a Joke" I'm going to see if I can catch as it passes by again... I fish these poems out of thin air...almost like picking oranges from a tree...The challenge is always if it resonates with me... We 'll be in touch...

yes, I think the mirror becomes more and more an enemy with the years! But keep the inner child going and the light burning!! Nicely penned.

Good morning Andrea... I believe the mirror has its own agenda...Maybe to remind us of something...Thanks for passing by...loved your comments...Have a wonderful day

I got the idea from a friend who talked about how he looked on facebook...An old lion with a young heart...It made me laugh...and this morning the concept cames rushing into my mind....Thank you
