The Old Man and the Mirror

Anthony7 Comments

Look in the mirror what do I see?

Gray old man looking back at me.

–

Where did all the years go

So fast the time does flow.

–

My beard is full and such curly hair

Has thoroughly caught me unawares.

–

Life is strange as it moves by fast

Wondering how long this life will last.

–

Oh my mirror must you be cruel 

Showing me I was such a fool.

–

My lifetime hasn’t all been a blast

Cold harsh realities in distant past.

–

Take some stock it wasn’t all a waste

Parts of our lives have a bitter taste.

–

The hardest lessons have been learned 

To assure a far better life in return.

–

A drip in the sink drops with kerplunk

I set down my razor and bathroom junk.

–

Now I’m shaven and my teeth are clean

I’m far better than I have ever been.

–

The time for reflection is at an end

Let’s resume your living my friend.

–

Take the time and lessons, discard strife

And resume living your very best life…
