The mirror of truth

Gazing into the glass an

image before me

Honest reflections in

present moment

Life etched with wisdom

of a familar face

A smile that still seems

the same

Eyes that still hold some

light

Hands a tad worn, but workable

still

Attached a slightly bent

frame

Reflections of the mirror

of truth

A past that cannot be

denied

Aging is part of lifes ups and downs. However its not the worst thing in life as it has its pluses. The wisdom, we aquire along the way teaches us to appreciate more things in life and make better choices.
