The mirror only now reflects.
It neither flatters.
Nor does it tell lies.
It has no concept of the past or the future.
The past etched in the beholder's memory,
the mirror cannot reflect.
The future only time will tell.
The mirror only now reflects.
I have reached the age when I glance at mirrors and give them scant regard. This poem says a lot.

Perspectives again Abdul - how would we gain our fixings without them. ?
Much appreciated. I enjoyed the scope of 'reflect'.

Keith I concur with your thoughts. It's fortunate the mirrors can't read our age conditioned reactions. Thank you for striking the like.
