Reflections

“You’re not the girl you used to be,”

the mirror says each day to me.

 

I look her squarely in the eye,

“I’m wiser now,” is my reply.

i like this...it presents a theory that is so relevant....it is not how we look on the outside...we can look the mirror in the eye and say...so what...but we can also say, it is what is inside that counts.

and yes that mirror watches us grow wiser.

Rita, Darling friend of mine...as you know, I have had a long, difficult day.
I had seven...seven read requests, and a couple of new friend requests after the whole thing with "Coward" finally died down.
I saved your piece for last...cuz I figured, it's Rita...she'll lift your spirits!! She always makes you smile!!
So, it was with no small anticipation that I clicked on it...
Girl, I love you...you know I do!!
But did you really have to remind me...TODAY...that I'm getting old???????????

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Don't you ever lie a ALL????????

Fantastic write, Sweetie, and I still love you...from the bottom of my wrinkled, old, heart!!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Oh, Angel, believe me, "old" is not such a terrible thing! And, with each passing day - more of that wisdom ;) Glad this gave you a lift, my friend!

Age has no claim on the very best things/ Angel is young as the newest of Springs.

Well done Rita. Very wise indeed. Excellent rhyming. Good use of personification. Good depth of feeling. Well penned and a good read. Write on!
