Vanity My mirror's old, it doesn't show Every line and trace That time has left in passing, Impressed upon my face. My mirror's kind, there is no sign Of silvered hair and gray. It shows me as I used to be Once, on my wedding day. Its foggy depths do not reveal The way I've changed or how I feel. It doesn't show me what is real And so before its sight I kneel, To gaze and dream a little while. It does no harm and makes me smile!

Nice read. Up to your usual high standard....  the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

I think my mirror must be broke, it shows all kinds of lines and splotches, plus lots of gray lines in my hair. Enjoyed reading about yours. |

Sorry Songbird, but I promised my daughter she could have it when I'm gone! Hopefully, long years away! Betty Lou Hebert |

The old saying is so true, you're only as old as you feel. I think your mirror sees you exactly as you are, young at heart. Very nice poem. |
