One day my uncle said:
"I woke up, looked in the mirror,
and there was
an old may starring at me."
So it is in the annals of life;
to say "mirror, mirror on the wall,"
and the mirror does tell the truth.
And so we go our way each day
thinking we are invincible;
the mirror brings back
to reality; the grey hair, lines
on the face , age spots and body aches.
We're fighting a battle to stay young
that cannot be won. Life does
consume us all sooner or later!
What matters after all, is how
we have lived this life when
the obiturary disloses a
synopsis of one's mark in this world.
The annals of life starring back
each day, reminding us we are mortal.
