Who is that in the Mirror
Who I wonder....... is that person in that picture I see
Looks familiar.......could it be me
Yes it's a Mirror it's the new Me
Used to be.........I was wrinkle free smooth, trim and carefree
Not my fault.........gravity hits
Inside padding ........shifts
Can't afford ........a tuck or a face lift
Jeans piled in the closet....no longer fit
I am what I am.........gotta work with what I git
Creative...... maybe I'll use em an make a quilt
It's me.......... it's mine it'll be fine......no guilt
Resourceful......ahh bagy shirts and fat pants, wonders of elastic
Make-up.........that's the trick, just enough tho not to look plastic
Hair Color in a Bottle......wash away the grey, ahh the brown is back
Hair Gel, Spray and blow dryer.....yep, makes you look younger in fact
Outside retreats to the Inside .......letting the inside out very important
Family.......new priorities, can't recall the last shopping spree
Children.....take up all our time, we're no longer free
Mother ...... family needs loving attention and nurturing
Growing......togeather sharing and caring, learning and growing
Age.....years pass by changes made on the outside without anguish
Epiphany.....so many blessings and wonders building to forever cherish
Inner Beauty......shines and glows in your life with a loving treatment
Personal Growth......loved ones see in us lessons learned and nurturing given
Love......Yourself first gives you stength and wisdom.... to teach with them to
love living
Looking back......at all that has come and gone
Lessons of love and strife...........created our personalities as our own, as ours
and ours alone
Reflect......adversity put in it's place, we revel in the happy memories
Share.........realization of how far we come, wonder's we've seen with our
friends and families
We're Fine....... Been there Done That, we're still here in all our
Glory
Someday..........When we reach the end of our journey
No Regrets.......Far away when we're up above, love we left behind us
will return again and again as they tell our story.
Pass the Gauntlet....gone but not forgotten, blessings shared and lessons
taught continue to nurture and guide our wee ones
We Watch.......From our favorite spot in paradise with pride our loved ones
our guidance in their hearts living stride by stride
Inside is Out....They keep pictures to show how we looked on the Outside
they continue on with sweet memories of what we
gave them, heart and soul, from Inside.
Smiling............Looking down on them, watching, we are filled with Pride.
