Musings of my life

Memories

by Sandra Stoner-Mitchell

I close my eyes, it's Spring again
My face is fresh, I have no lines
My eyes are clear, my vision true
My hair has colour, lustrous shine
My breasts are firm, my waist is small
My legs are strong and shapely too
My mind alert, my brain is quick
My health is good, my future set.

And now my eyes I open wide
The truth is there for all to see
Years have passed, now Autumn shows
My life has been so rich and full
My face has lines, a map to show
My pains and joys in equal parts
I've had good friends along the way
And cherished everyone I've known.

My winter years will soon be here
And I will hold them close to me
I'll smile a smile that tells them all
I am now where I want to be.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder who is staring back. Where did the years go? But I've no regrets. My thanks to Moon Willow for this beautiful picture!
This is new to me, an un-rhymed poem, so not really sure what to call it...free verse?
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
