NEW DAY'S STRANGER ...

The normal reflection of myself in mirror's glaze;
Never thought to see him greet with such cheer.
Always a serious, ponderous, scrutinizing face;
Finding every flaw in every crevasse, I fear.

A changed approach to our daily rites of morn;
Slow no more to react to my hurried motion.
"Missed a spot", came his alert like a horn;
Razor's begged forgiveness -- a forgotten notion.

Maybe his wife found him favorable last night;
That must be it -- No better reason for his mirth.
Shaking his head with disappointment of slight;
His speedy reply for me to unearth.

"Lost weight?", to catch my pleasant surprise;
My elation to find someone who would agree.
Significant congratulations are mine, I surmise;
From his reaction, wrong again -- But, to what degree?

Sparkle the teeth and poof the hair, so I proceed;
As I stall for time to solve his vexing riddle.
Douse the pits with good smelly stuff;
And turn to leave a morning's piddle.

Consider our silence, as we stood with grins beaming;
What has happened in my life to raise such a specter?
Was it something I've eaten to cause visions seeming?
Or, my time to face life's ultimate inspector?

From this perplexing new day's stranger, a direct recitation;
From my profound new day's stranger, this bold oration.
"Focus of life be family and friends -- Give of your gifts to behold";
"Meaning in life be loves gentle touch -- More than riches of gold."

This put a smile on my face.........

    "Sparkle the teethe, and pouf the hair,
            So I proceed;
     As I stall for time to solve his
            vexing riddle.
     Douse the pits with good smelly stuff,
     and turn to leave a morning's piddle"

  You captured my routine in a verse.....
         love your words!!!!!!

Hold life with an open hand....leaving it room to grow....
