The mirror shows the years gone by

A fleeting glimpse beneath the sky

Its surface holds the joys weve found

The love the loss the world around

Each crack a memory carved in gold

Each line a story softly told

Through light and shadow it reveals

The hearts own truth the wounds it heals

Though time may fade the youthful face

It leaves behind a deeper grace

A soul refined by joy and tears

A quiet strength to face the years

So hold the mirror close and see

The beauty in its mystery

For every mark though faint will shine

A testament to lifes design
