Her face within the mirror
Peering cautiously
Somewhat distant
As though she’s
Searching for yesterday
Fine lines around her eyes
Convey her story
In total honesty
A rendering of changes
Seen quite visibly
This definition of
A life well lived
Etched deeply
By lessons learned
Along the way
A mere price to pay
As receipt
For a family well raised
Her strong hands
That comb through
Painted streaks of gray
She watches
As they fall
To gently frame her face
Her expression
A thoughtful acceptance
Drawn so deliberately
Without the need
Or attempt to erase
Her honest legacy
This confirmation of
Seasons passed
A generous gift
Not all are fortunate
To receive
She’s gained so much
A grateful life
With tender memories
The mirror tells her story
There’s truth in what she sees
Not solely an appearance
Rendered on
Reflective glass
There’s so much more to see
