Dear Mirror.
I’m tired of hearing how old I look
For the sake of vanity, flatter
Time enough, my love, to embrace
The face-to-face Truth of the Matter

Methinks we need a new mirror ... so as to reflect the inner beauty that ever grows within as time passes. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Brenda, that is a very wise comment! and yes, much more value in inner beauty, which is where our focus should always be!
DeleteThank-you and hugs!
also, this was written for fun. Thankfully as we age we place less value on what we are unable to change and work with what we can!(hopefully:)
DeleteI feel this!
ReplyDelete;-) There's no way around it! oh well...
