What Happened Here?

I look through my eyes and  I see

Everything that used to be . . .me.

 

Thin and young, full of energy

Ready to try it . . . that was me.

 

Eager to go and eager to do

I wanted to be friends with you.

 

No wrinkles graced my little face

Windblown hair, always our of place

 

Now I see through eyes of another

‘Cause in the mirror I see . . .my mother!

I am lucky enough to look nothing like my mother. But unfortunately I DO resemble a formidable old aunt of mine.  Mind you, she is ninety-one and very fit for her age so maybe its not too bad!  I love the verse though :-)    Sandra xxx

I think this phenomenon is called "getting older and wiser". My date for your  move is 30th April. (Don't bank on my guesses though). Keep smiling.

As much as I try to not see it, LOL, I do. I just don't fess up!  But I hear it every day.  It's sort of scarey.  Nice poem.
