I wake in the morning
And prepare to start my day.
I wash my face and brush
My teeth in the same old way.

Before I look into the mirror
I wonder what I'll find.
The ravages of time
have not been very kind.

I'd hope to see the girl
that I once used to be.
But it just didn't happen
it was only me.

I stared at the old lady
who ever she may be.
It's  surely someone else
But it  can't be me!!

Where once   long dark hair
down her back did flow
And eyes that were shining
Where did they go?

The ravages of time
have carved my face.
I've not grown old
With a lot of grace.

But as I make the coffee
And smell that sweet aroma.
I thank God for caffein
to put me in a coma

This is kind of sad Katy.  I can relate though.  Just a few short years ago, I was a very healthy triathlete.  Now when I look in the mirror, I hate what I see.  This illness has taken a heavy toll and now I avoid mirrors like the plague.  In my head, I still look like I did just a few short years ago regardless of what the mirror says...

OH Katy!   I love this poem.  LOL  It is so full of feelings and ends with such a bang of humor I had to laugh aloud. What a pleasant poem to read first thing in the morning.  


Thank goodness the coffee is just about made and am headed for a cup now.   Hehehe, I'll join you in that coma.

Sadly, I don't wear glasses.  Luckily in the morning and usually for hours afterwards, I am in a fog, so I have a difficult time seeing anything.  Perhaps that's when I should be looking in the mirror...
