Reflections

REFLECTIONS

I look into the mirror
and I see to my surprise.
A whole new different person
looking deep into my eyes.

The care free Lanie I once saw
when I was four or five.
has now become a grown woman
and is fighting to survive.

it's really sort of scary
that time has gone by so fast.
For what then I called the PRESENT
has now become my PAST.

I look into the mirror
and the face looking back at me.
Is that of a stronger woman
where a little Lanie used to be.
