As I gaze in the mirror, what do I see <br />A face that's familiar stares back out at me <br />A face that I've known for many-a-year <br />A face that's a friend and no-one I fear <br />A face that has weathered most life's ups and downs <br />A face that is sometimes creased with a frown <br />A face on the whole that is happy and glad <br />A face I can say to myself's 'not-to-bad' <br /> <br />It's a face that I like and am comfortable with <br />To see someone else would just be a myth <br />As I gaze in the mirror, I resemble another <br />On looking at me, I now see my mother <br />The comfort this brings makes everything right <br />The face in the mirror, a welcoming sight <br />The face in the mirror now echoes the past <br />That time is too fleeting and ever too fast <br />As I gaze in the mirror of life as I'm prone <br />I see me and my mother, and am never alone.<br /><br />Evelyn Macdonald<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reflections-85/
