I
t seemed so hard to believe
The woman looking back
Is only slightly familiar
Big brown eyes
Brown hair
Are still the same
But the grace is gone
And the smile is wistful
The body shows signs of age
Time gone by
Bad decisions made
This and that
Excuses
Choices
Mistakes
She finally had
Just about all she could take
Of the stranger in the mirror
That claimed to be her
So she swore
To herself
And those that knew her best
To get back up
Once again
Where she could admit
The woman in the mirror
Was the best she’s ever been
She was tough
Determined
Sure and confident
Strong as a bull
Just about as stubborn
Full of surprises
And with a smile that spoke volumes
A body that showed age was just a number
Of birthdays celebrated
Time gone by
This and that
Reasons
Choices
Successes
All because she knew
Damn straight
Who the stranger in the mirror
Really wanted to be.
