Week 45 - Reflection

Reflection

I look into the mirror,
What do I see?
Reflections of a woman
Looking back at me.

Gone are the youthful antics.
Gone is the first bloom of love.
Now what I see are wrinkles,
And time now seems to shove.

I recognize the woman
Where once a child stood;
In some ways there's struggle,
But where I am is good.
