My old mirror

Remembering my reflection 
It wasn’t THAT long ago
there wasn’t any wrinkles
my old mirror didn’t lie you know

Youth was on my side
it doesn’t seem THAT long ago
yet that was before I’d had my kids & my old mirror has watched them grow

My hair was a different colour back then, won’t my old mirror think it is strange, this person staring back at it looks familiar, yet there is a change

I have gazed into THAT old mirror for over forty years
Alas it’s ‘Water under the bridge’ now but it’s shared both my laughter & tears

So my old mirror I thank you from the bottom of my heart, whilst I dread the day & woe betide the time when we have to part
