My Reflection?

by WordLover

Another birthday
Woo wee
Say it ain’t so – no way
I wonder how this could be
Who is
this woman
I see

A face
so familiar
Beaming smile, so like my own
Innocent thief of my stolen youth
Eyes twinkling
Corners crinkling
Mellowing matron

An imposter
perhaps, or
are those Mama’s eyes I see
Oh no wait, that cannot be
Mirror, mirror
Could she
Be me?

(a bit of birthday nonsense done ias a
Trinet poem/3 stanzas, word count
2/2/6/6/2/2/2)

Oh so beautifully written, with a nostalgic wink and the gentle sense of humor you're known for. Happy Birthday, Sandy - Love and hugs and many, many more! Just another "say it ain't so" girl, your bud Mary Ann

" mirror, mirror on the wall. who is the fairest of them all? "

Intriguing poetry. I especially enjoyed the line "innocent thief of my stolen youth." It's good to see you back on the poetic slopes again!
