Jooles

Reflection

He looks in the mirror

 

He pulls at his skin

 

With a shiver no glimmer

 

Of who he had been

 

 

 

Had it been so long

 

How the years had flown past

 

It all seemed so wrong

 

Why does youth not last

 

 

 

His clear sight now going

 

His hearing impaired

 

His body now slowing

 

His harsh years laid bare

 

 

 

He wished he\'d been told

 

He wish he had known

 

That life is like gold

 

Not to be blown

 

 

 

To late to repair

 

The damage he\'d done

 

He whispered a prayer

 

His soul meet loved one
