The Mirror Poem by Lacie Hebert

I looked into the mirror today, 
And saw the years upon my face.
The lines around my eyes had grown, 
Like little maps of places known.

I touched the silver in my hair, 
And thought of all that brought it there.
The laughter shared, the tears I've cried, 
The dreams that lived, the ones that died.

When I was young, I'd fear this age, 
As though time stole us page by page.
But standing here, I plainly see,
These years have given more to me
Than they have ever taken away.
