Mirror Poem by Samra Haq

Mirror, Mirror

I am putting you on my front wall
Why, I am looking at you at all

Mirror, Mirror

Now you are in my room in a big hall
When, I am seeing towards you
Its makes me recall

Mirror, Mirror

Please hold upon yourself
And don't get fall

Mirror, Mirror

Now, I am standing in front of you
Stay in front of me until and unless I can see myself in you

Mirror, Mirror

In you, I can see my image
When in you I can see my reflection
I feel more courage and satisfactions

Mirror, Mirror

You are showing me all my hidden charms
By showing my inner intrinsic beauty without giving me any harm

Mirror, Mirror

Now, I am heading towards a senior age
Surrounding my eyes it's the beginning of a small wrinkle stage

Mirror, Mirror

Now, I am getting old
As if, I am not too old
One day when I lose my strength
My two sons are going to me hold

Mirror, Mirror

Daily, I am applying many cosmetics and lotions
Trying to hide my all sad hidden emotions

Mirror, Mirror

Why I always keep you near to my bedrooms door
As if, I feel that I am looking old
Why I am hating you more and more

Mirror, Mirror

I am having to look the other possible ways
When my own reflections are on display

Mirror, Mirror

I am putting you on my front wall
Why, every time, I am looking at you at all
