Have I... My Mother's Eyes
I peer into my Mother's eyes
84 years of fading memories
Regrets.................endured
Rejoices...............revisited
Suffering...............comprehended
Anger....................kept covered
Wrinkles that show the hard road
62 years of marriage at best
and the worst hidden
But still together
'To death do us part'
All that is left....to sit and wait
Now I stand before this mirror
That tells no lies
Little more over half her age
A glimpse of what is to come perhaps
Not because I walked in her shoes
But still scary how similar the path
Except for the different ending
I look in this mirror
Have I... My Mother's eyes
