The Mirror’s Reflection

Once as it shows I too was young and beautiful

The Mirror’s Reflection

In the mirror, my face worn and aged,

Lines that whisper of years gone by,

Once vibrant eyes, now dulled and hazy,

A youthful beauty, lost to wrinkles of time.

Memories flicker like shadows in the glass,

A life once full of laughter and light,

Now a reflection of moments passed,

A gentle reminder of the speed of time.

Time etches lines, each one a tale,

Of dreams once bright, now quietly faded,

Yet in the heart, a spark remains,

A resilience that time has not diminished.

The mirror reflects not just what’s lost,

But the strength that endures through the years,

A legacy of love and life,

Echoing softly in each wrinkle.

And as the years gently fade away,

The mirror holds more than just the past,

It keeps the essence of a life well-lived,

A timeless beauty that never truly fades.

In the mirror, a face worn and old,

look how beautiful I was in the picture I hold,

Those days have gone, forever lost in time,

Now the mirror lets me see who I am as I shine.
