Challenge
When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
Any format
Mirror, mirror
What do I see
gazing upon the silver
besides tired eyes
-my daddy's sad eyes-
looking back at me?
My mother's daughter
aging attractive woman
striving not to care
that there is no
portrait in the attic
Daddy's little girl
hopelessly hopeful dreamer
grasping, at last, his
search for solace
in an empty glass
my husband's wife
ageless forever lover
struggling to care for all
with a bright smile
till death do us part
my son’s mom
ever present, able, willing
hugging, listening, doing
weeping as I
start to fade to black.
