My Face

Each morning now I greet a face
A stranger, I don’t remember
Back in time or space
An older woman surprises me in the mirror
Each morning, when
I wash her face.

When did she get here?
When did she arrive?
When did she replace that young girl?
Who greeted me in the mirror
As I
Washed her face.

Glad she’s here
Glad she survived and got thru
All the world put on her plate
When I think about it
I’m glad she took that young girl’s place
The one who used to
Wash my face.

My Future Seems Bright

July 27, 2015

Like the night, my future seems bright
Sparkling stars blinking
Radiating light.

No sacrifice is big enough to suffice
No heartache will replace the feeling
Deep within the night.

I can see my way so straight and clear
No darken path
Will I tread my dear.

Glad she survived and got thru
