| Face In My Mirror There's an unknown lady in my mirror and she's staring back at me. She looks much older than I am, I'm much younger in my mind, you see! Why, she has lots of gray in her hair, and my hairs a shiny brown. My face is smooth and unlined, while she's wearing a wrinkled frown! What about those crows feet, all those age spots that I see? That lady in the mirror, why, she can't possibly be me! I was busy raising kids and working, and the years just flew right by. Now this old lady's staring back at me, shaking her head and giving a sigh. I can't remember when it changed, this face that I've known so well. I just glanced in the mirror one day, and realized this new face was there! Yet, as I study my face in the glass, I begin to like what I see. I earned this face over all these years, and it's not a bad face for me! This face reflects the years gone by, the good times and the bad. This face has lived my life with me, it reflects all the pain and love I've had. So I guess this lady in my mirror she's not such a stranger to me. I think I'm beginning to like her, we have memories in common,you see! |
