Love's Magnificentifyng Looking Glass

 

 

How utterly wonderful it would be

For a aging lover to see how his lover sees him

This is also true for the lady

If only for a short duration

A minute or two will do

A whole new image world would appear

 

He looks in the mirror and finds

Turkey throat

Pot belly

Jowls

Liver spots

Bumps and lumps

Crooked fingers

Gray hair and emerging forehead

Hair growing everywhere except where it's supposed to

Ears and nose starting to take over his entire face

And other stuff he can't quite remember

 

And she sees a handsome stud soul mate for the ages

 

She looks in the mirror and sees

 

Sagging stuff

Thinning hair

Spots and blemishes

Figure eight turning into a different number

Lipstick needed here

Powder required there

Accent this

Cover over that

And what's that behind me?

 

And he sees his calendar girl and playmate of the year forever

 

Whose view is true?

 

If you have to ask, take another look.

 

See yourself as your lover sees you and life will immediately improve for both of you
