The mirror reflects,
the passage of time
The lines grooved along a smiling mouth,
the crinkles that fan out from eyes
that have seen so much,
a network of lines carved,
by the intimate hands of experience.
What remains untouched,
is love that quickens the heartbeat,
shared laughter that bubbles over with fun,
silent tears that build inner resolve,
warm embers of silence,
shared between friends,
the faith of a little child
that helps you move mountains.
These lines carved on my face,
are testimony to the fact
that I have lived
life to the fullest.
I am aware
of the changes that
time has wrought,
and I smile unperturbed
as I perceive
all that is changeless
within me.
