I look in the mirror;
Don't like what I see;
Is that saturnine woman
Actually me?
Where is the girl
With a smile that shone?
All grown up;
The smile's long gone.
Embittered and cynical;
Forlorn and morose;
Sees only the thorns
-Not the beautiful rose.
Note to self:
Need attitude shift!
Life's not a burden;
Life is a gift.
That is a beautiful reminder to us all to be just a little more thankful for our blessings.

I looked in the mirror it suddenly did crack,
No hope for the future couldn't look back.
But went out immediately and bought a new glass,
Looked forward to the future let what happened pass.
