I look into the mirror <br />and stare at this face. <br />Life has gotten dearer. <br />Time has left its trace. <br /> <br />What happened to the innocence? <br />Where is that youthful glow? <br />This isn't the mirror I saw myself in <br />So many years ago. <br /> <br />Innocence became reality. <br />Youth gave way to mature <br />Now I wish I had the mirror <br />I looked into before. <br /> <br />Mirrors show an image <br />We may not want to see. <br />The way we are today. <br />How we used to be. <br /> <br />Remember while you're looking. <br />The reflection doesn't last. <br />Just think of how it was <br />When you looked In Mirrors Past.<br /><br />Ashleigh Gaffney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-mirrors-past/
